Can NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB run PyTorch with CUDA?
Check whether this GPU matches AIPCFit's verified Windows and NVIDIA CUDA hardware path. This does not claim that your current Python, PyTorch, driver, or CUDA software environment is already configured correctly.

Hardware support is not the whole setup
Your software environment still matters
A compatible GPU does not guarantee that an existing PyTorch installation can already access CUDA. These items are not checked by this GPU page.
Runtime verification
Check whether PyTorch can actually see CUDA
After installing the appropriate PyTorch build, the official PyTorch verification method includes checking CUDA availability from Python.
import torch
print(torch.cuda.is_available())Verified notes
- PyTorch supports Windows and NVIDIA CUDA acceleration with a compatible CUDA-enabled build.
- AIPCFit does not treat GPU VRAM as a universal PyTorch workload requirement.
- Python, PyTorch build, CUDA runtime, NVIDIA driver, and workload-specific requirements are not yet verified by this hardware-only check.
