If you are using conda, you might have installed the cpu version of the tensorflow. Check package list (conda list) of the environment to see if this is the case . If so, remove the package by using conda remove tensorflow and install keras-gpu instead (conda install -c anaconda keras-gpu. This will install everything you need to run your machine learning codes in GPU. Cheers!

P.S. You should check first if you have installed the drivers correctly using nvidia-smi. By default, this is not in your PATH so you might as well need to add the folder to your path. The .exe file can be found at C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI
