I have a Dell Lattitude E6520 with a NVIDIA NVS 4200M GPU. On NVIDIA's website it states that it supports CUDA, yet for some reason I can't enable it. Any suggestions? thanks

Unfortunately, beginning with the latest CC 2019, your system will be permanently locked to the software-only mode because Nvidia has EOL'd all Fermi-generation Quadro NVS driver support after driver branch version 375. In addition, CC 2019 now requires both driver branch version 410 or higher and 4GB or more graphics RAM just to even enable GPU acceleration support reliably. And even if the NVS 4200 were supported on an architectural and driver level, it has too little RAM (1GB maximum) to even enable GPU acceleration at all. Plus, it is an extreme weakling of a GPU, being essentially a GeForce 410M with only 48 CUDA cores and a memory throughput of just 13 GB/s whereas the GPUs that we recommend have well over 1,000 CUDA cores and a memory throughput of well over 100 GB/s.

There are different levels of CUDA. Yours is very old, and simply may not work.

Do not count on Windows to be fully up to date when it comes to device drivers

Go to the vendor site to be sure you have an updated driver for your graphic adapter

•nVidia Driver Downloads http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

There are also intermittent reports that the newest driver is not always the best driver due to driver bugs or compatibility issues, so you MAY need to try an earlier driver version
