Hi Andrea,

The driver doesn't matter so go with an up to date one. For CUDA go with cuda 9.0, I think that was the last to be supported by Amber 16. It won't support the latest GPUs like a 2080TI but I 'think' it will work with a 1080TI or V100. You should be able to just replace cuda-toolkit-10-1 with cuda-toolkit-9-0 in the instructions below.

Be sure to use AmberTools 17 with Amber 16.

All the best
Ross
