How to know minimum required driver version for particular docker image?

[kwonmha]

I want to know what driver version is required for particular docker image.
Now, 460.73 version driver is installed and failed to run 11.5.2, succeeded to run 11.4.3.

Running 11.5.2 image, the error says

docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:380: starting container process caused: process_linux.go:545: container init caused: Running hook #0:: error running hook: exit status 1, stdout: , stderr: nvidia-container-cli: requirement error: unsatisfied condition: cuda>=11.5, please update your driver to a newer version, or use an earlier cuda container: unknown.

How can I find minimum required driver version spec?

I found https://gitlab.com/nvidia/container-images/cuda/-/blob/master/doc/container_tags.pdf but it doesn't give me complete information.
By looking at the doc, I can't figure out why 11.5.2 failed and 11.4.3 didn't with 460.73 driver.

https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker/wiki/CUDA#requirements is out of date.

According to https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-toolkit-release-notes/index.html, the minimum required driver version for CUDA 11.x is 450.80.02 but I failed running 11.5.2 image with 460.73.01.

@kwonmha Try driver version 470 as https://gitlab.com/nvidia/container-images/cuda/-/blob/master/doc/container_tags.pdf suggests.
ℹ️ This is a driver from the LTSB (Long Term Support Branch) and supports newer CUDA versions through forward compatibility.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Does it work? Which Linux distribution are you using?

You can find the official table here: https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-toolkit-release-notes/index.html#cuda-major-version-compatibility

Based on that table:

* To run CUDA 11.5, you need an R495 driver (e.g., 495.29.05 or newer).

* To run CUDA 11.4, you need an R470 driver (e.g., 470.57.02 or newer).

Your 460.73.01 driver is too old for either of these images. To resolve this, you must upgrade your host driver to a newer version.
