Spyder doesn't recognize TensorFlow GPU

Hello.

So I spent a good amount of time installing and tuning TensorFlow GPU version.

And through Anaconda prompt it works perfectly.

I run this piece of code to check if I can use GPU:

from tensorflow.python.client import device_lib
print(device_lib.list_local_devices())

And it gives me the result:

[name: "/device:CPU:0"
device_type: "CPU"
memory_limit: 268435456
locality {
}
incarnation: 11171278383842874612
, name: "/device:GPU:0"
device_type: "GPU"
memory_limit: 3238717030
locality {
  bus_id: 1
}
incarnation: 17164589319225185596
physical_device_desc: "device: 0, name: GeForce GTX 960M, pci bus id: 0000:01:00.0, compute capability: 5.0"
]

However if I run it in Spyder I’m getting that I can only use my CPU:

[name: "/cpu:0"
device_type: "CPU"
memory_limit: 268435456
locality {
}
incarnation: 18858102688050260
]

I tried to open Spyder through the environment, since it’s the only suggestion I could find on the Internet. Like

activate tensorflow
spyder 

But still it shows I can use only CPU. I also tried to update the spyder… still no luck. Spyder refuses to see that I can use GPU. What the trick can be? How can I make Spyder see the GPU

I have just reinstalled everything from the scratch (starting with anaconda). Then spyder refused to see firstly tensorflow, then keras, then pillow… Then I reinstall those several times, and opened spyder under tensorflow environment… Somehow it works now.

Hello, I installed tensorflow gpu 2.5 and it will automatically install Cuda and cudnn. I install jupyter and check the config devices and it is showing both CPU and GPU. But when I want to try on spyder. spyder is not detecting GPU. Is there any problem of TensorFlow 2.5 with spyder. Need Suggestion. Thank you
