To verify that your GPU is CUDA-capable, go to your distribution's equivalent of System Properties, or, from the command line, enter:
lspci | grep -i nvidia
If you do not see any settings, update the PCI hardware database that Linux maintains by entering update-pciids (generally found in /sbin) at the command line and rerun the previous lspci command.
If your graphics card is from NVIDIA and it is listed in CUDA-GPUS, your GPU is CUDA-capable.
