Installing Tensorflow 2.0, I have GPU but not CUDA-Enabled, Does that means I can only used my CPU?

I read the TensorFlow documentation about how to install Tensorflow 2.0 with GPU on Windows (https://www.tensorflow.org/install/gpu).

In the hardware requirement section, it states that it needs NVIDIA GPU with CUDA Compute Capability. When I saw CUDA-enabled GPU cards list (https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus), I just realized that my GPU was not on the list (I have NVIDIA GTX 1660 ti on my machine).

What I wanted to ask are:

  1. Does it mean that I can't use my GPU for my Deep Learning Tensorflow implementation?
  2. Does it mean that I have to install the CPU version of Tensorflow 2.0?

You can use Tensorflow GPU on your laptop as your GPU supports CUDA. Install CUDA, then cuDNN and then, Tensorflow GPU.

You don't have to work with CPU version as you have a better option.
