Compatible GPU's for RL Toolbox

Hi Everyone,

I am researching upgrading my faculty PC to permit GPU parallel computing to speed up my Reinforcement Learning training. The current GPU is not NVIDIA and not compatible with MathWorks R2021a (Intel R UHD Graphics).

Due to limitatons of the PC my IT department have mentioned the only option is a PNY NVIDIA GeForce GT1030.

Specifications features state its NVIDIA Pascal GPU technology, will this be compatible with R2021a?

Thanks in advance.

according to the matlab GPU supported by release https://www.mathworks.com/help/parallel-computing/gpu-support-by-release.html suggest yes?

MATLAB R2021a supports Pascal (cc6.x) where cc indicates the compute capability of the GPU architecture. GeForce GT1030 is supported, it has a compute capability of 6.1. To check your GPU compute capability, you can see ComputeCapability in the output of the gpuDevice function. Alternatively, see CUDA GPUs
