CUDA version with tensor flow

Question

I am trying to install shadoworflow with a GPU on my windows 10 laptop. I downloaded cuda (version 9 because it is the last one) and had problems because dll cudart64_80.dll did not exist. I have cudart64_90.dll , which makes me think that tensor flow only works with cuda 8.

I am wondering if I should unisntall CUDA 9 and then install CUDA 8 or if I can have both versions installed?

Tensorflow 1.4 currently works with CUDA 8.0, which is poorly documented. If you don't want to worry about installing CUDA 8.0 (after upgrading Tensorflow to 9.0), you can also install tf-nightly, which works with CUDA 9.0. It may be a less stable release, but it is usually as good (if not better) than major releases.
