Can I install cuda if I have Intel Graphics?

I want to use NVIDIA's CUDA-Toolkit for a project, but I have an Intel(R) Iris Xe Graphics (Windows 11 Pro). On installing Nvidia Graphics GeForce Game Ready, I am getting the following error

This Nvidia graphics driver is not compatible with this version of Windows. This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware

Solution

  • In short, NO.

    Intel doesn't support CUDA drivers yet in any of its GPUs. Although you can find some possible workarounds like this.

    If your primary motive is for machine learning based tasks, you can still consider using Google Colab or its likes.

    [Additionally, most 12th generation Intel processors have an additional Gaussian and Neural Accelerator (GNA), which can help accelerate ML workloads, although not as fast as a GPU]
