   Note

   • This table lists GPU information for only some common GPU-accelerated compute-optimized instance types. Instances that use the same GPU model, such as ebmgn6e and gn6e that both use the NVIDIA V100, share the same product type, product series, and product.

   • When you manually install the Tesla driver and CUDA Toolkit, ensure that their versions are compatible. For more information, see CUDA Compatibility.

4. On the driver search results page, click Show More Versions.

5. Find the driver you want and click View next to it.

   For example, select Data Center Driver for Windows with driver version 462.31 and CUDA Toolkit 11.2.

6. On the driver details page, click Download.

   This page shows detailed driver information, such as the Driver Version, Release Date, Operating System, CUDA Toolkit version, Language, and File Size. Verify the details are correct, and then click Download.
