title: How can I make tensorflow run on a GPU with capability 2.x?
body: <p>I've successfully installed tensorflow (GPU) on Linux Ubuntu 16.04 and made some small changes in order to make it work with the new Ubuntu LTS release.</p>
  
  <p>However, I thought (who knows why) that my GPU met the minimum requirement of a compute capability greater than 3.5. That was not the case since my <a href="http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-820m" rel="noreferrer">GeForce 820M</a> has just 2.1. Is there a way of making tensorflow GPU version working with my GPU?</p>
  
  <p>I am asking this question since apparently there was no way of making tensorflow GPU version working on Ubuntu 16.04 but by searching the internet I found out that was not the case and indeed I made it almost work were it not for this unsatisfied requirement. Now I am wondering if this issue with GPU compute capability could be fixed as well.</p>
