title: Tensorflow CUDA GTX 1070 import error
body: <p>I'm trying to install Tensorflow with CUDA support. Here are my specs:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>NVIDIA GTX 1070</li>
  <li>CUDA 7.5</li>
  <li>Cudnn v5.0</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I have installed Tensorflow via the <code>pip</code> installation -- so I'm picturing your answer being to install from source, but I want to make sure there isn't a quick fix.</p>
  
  <p>The error is:</p>
