I\'ve tried tensorflow on both cuda 7.5 and 8.0, w/o cudnn (my GPU is old, cudnn doesn\'t support it).
When I execute device_lib.list_local_devices(),
device_lib.list_local_devices()
The following worked for me, hp laptop. I have a Cuda Compute capability (version) 3.0 compatible Nvidia card. Windows 7.
pip3.6.exe uninstall tensorflow-gpu pip3.6.exe uninstall tensorflow-gpu pip3.6.exe install tensorflow-gpu
