# CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_TOOLSET_CUDA

Added in version 3.9.

NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit version whose Visual Studio toolset to use.

The Visual Studio Generators for VS 2010 and above support using a CUDA toolset provided by a CUDA Toolkit. The toolset version number may be specified by a field in `CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` of the form `cuda=8.0`. Or it is automatically detected if a path to a standalone CUDA directory is specified in the form `cuda=C:\path\to\cuda`. If none is specified CMake will choose a default version. CMake provides the selected CUDA toolset version in this variable. The value may be empty if no CUDA Toolkit with Visual Studio integration is installed.
