Cuda Versions:

As new versions of cuda are released and compute capabilities of GPUs increase, older cards will stop being supported. As according to: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/nvcc-fatal-unsupported-gpu-architecture-compute-35/247815CUDA 12.x has dropped support for Kepler compute 3.x devices. The minimum supported compute capability is 5.0 in CUDA 12.

For Example: If you trying make-ing some of the NVidia samples, you might see the following error:

Code Block
[salexan5@blog1 deviceQuery]$ make

To resolve, remove the 3x related GPU architecture references from the Makefile:
