The Nvidia drivers I've used for this were the 367 and 375 versions (yes with the windows artifacts after sleep for the 375 driver). Try to run a makefile from one of the sample directories - e.g.cudasamps/5_Simulations/nbody The makefile should complete and produce the nbody executable, try to run it. If it's not in your home dir, then copy it yourself from the /usr/local/cuda installation to some writeable (by you) location. Go to the writeable cudasamps directory (it may show up in your home directory). Be sure to export these variables after they are set. Same for adding /usr/local/cuda/lib64 to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. If not either set it up when you login, or just have a script to set it when you work with CUDA. See if the /usr/local/cuda/bin got added to your PATH at the front, (log out and in again). I just relink the /usr/bin/gcc and /usr/bin/g++ to the "5" versions instead of the "6"s, but I guess you could fiddle with the makefiles if you want to keep the "6" versions as the default.

is the default for 17.04, install them manually. The funny thing is, with a little overclocking magic, this 320MB card will actually perform. Like all members of the 8800 family, the new XFX 8800 GTS 320MB graphics card shares all of the same features as the 8800 GTX and GTS.
This CUDA release requires the gcc-5 and g++-5 compilers, so since gcc-6. XFX and NVIDIAs main goal with this card is to put DirectX 10 capabilities into the mid range buyers hands. Installing the Intel CUDA package will bring in all the other cuda packages in the (multiverse) repositories (if you've enabled the multiverse in the software update settings). If you got the drivers elsewhere, uninstall them and redo the installation as described above. You could try an earlier version to maybe avoid artifacts, but I never bothered. Use the recommended (tested) version of the latest driver. Get the drivers from the Software Updater/Settings button/Alternative drivers tab, not from Intel directly or from the CUDA package. 2.The Self-Extracting window appears and prompts you to extract or unzip to C:DELLDRIVERSR191230. I suggest you set up the recommended Nvidia drivers and get them working before installing the cuda-repo-ubuntu-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_b package from Intel. To find the latest driver for your computer we recommend running our Free Driver Scan. 1.Double-click the new icon on the desktop labeled NVIDIAGEFORCE-8800-GTA04R191230.EXE.
