What happened

I have two systems, one with an RTX5070 series and one with an RTX2060

When installing 5.15 on the system with a new 50 series graphics card, it installs CUDA 128, which is great; everything works as expected.

When installing on a system with RTX2060, it installs Cuda 128, which isn't supported, and it errors saying xformers isn't installed. Then nothing works. It instantly says low VRAM.

I had selected "Nvidia RTX 20XX series and below" during the installation process. It's almost like the installer ignores this and installs CUDA 128 anyway. I tried skipping this version and installing v6 RC3, but I got the same error during install.

Rolling back the installer to the previously installed version 5.12 fixes the problem, and during install, it installs CUDA 126 and everything works as expected.

What you expected to happen

Install InvokeAI selecting "Nvidia RTX 20XX series and below" during the installation process, and the installer to install the correct CUDA version for the card.

How to reproduce the problem

Install InvokeAI on a Windows system with an RTX2060

Looks like pytorch has dropped support for some GPUs with their latest release.

Up until now, there was no need to install a different version of torch for different GPUs. The launcher's 20xx series option installs xformers alongside torch. We will need to extend the launcher to have that capacity.
