Ubuntu 16.04, CUDA 8 - CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version : <p>I've installed the latest nvidia drivers (375.26) manually, and installed CUDA using cuda_8.0.44_linux.run (skipping the driver install there, since the bundled drivers are older, 367 I think).</p>

<p>Running the deviceQuery in CUDA samples produces the following error however:</p>

<pre><code>~/cudasamples/NVIDIA_CUDA-8.0_Samples/1_Utilities/deviceQuery$ ./deviceQuery 
./deviceQuery Starting...

 CUDA Device Query (Runtime API) version (CUDART static linking)

cudaGetDeviceCount returned 35
-&gt; CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version
Result = FAIL

<p>The anwer to similar problems has been updating the nvidia display drivers, though in my case this is already done. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.</p>
