You don’t mention which GPU you are using, but it looks like the driver doesn’t recognize it. I suggest installing the latest driver for your GPU.

The GPU I am using is GTX1080Ti.And whatelse info should I provide?

375.26 doesn’t work with 1080Ti

Go to Official Drivers | NVIDIA, and find the latest driver for your 1080Ti, and install it. This assumes you used the runfile installer method to install CUDA 8, but that appears to be the case if you got 375.26 installed.

[url]Installation Guide Linux :: CUDA Toolkit Documentation

Or you could just install CUDA 9 RC.

Thank you very much!Appreciate it!

Thank you very much!Appreciate it!
I did read the installation guide and follow it seriously.Also the instalation happened severial times last night.
Whatever,the new driver 384.59 made the ‘./deviceQuery’ and './bandwidthTest’work.
Thank you again!

Same issue. Is there an available Cuda 8 for 1080Ti now?
