-      Depending on you system, this may be enough to get CUDA to work. If
-      you are using CUDA 10.2, you will have to make sure that
-      C++17 is disabled.
-      By default, we try to detect the compute capability of your device
-      but you can easily set your own CUDA flags:

-        -DDEAL_II_CUDA_FLAGS="-arch=sm_60"
-      </pre>
-      <code>-DDEAL_II_CUDA_FLAGS_DEBUG</code> and
-      <code>-DDEAL_II_CUDA_FLAGS_RELEASE</code> are also available if you want
-      a finer control on the CUDA flags. The CUDA compiler and the
-      CUDA toolkit root directory can be set using
-      <code>-DDEAL_II_CUDA_COMPILER</code> and
-      <code>-DDEAL_II_CUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR</code>.
-      Finally, the CUDA host compiler is the same as the C++ compiler
-      by default, but can be changed using CUDA flags as well.
+      CUDA versions prior to 11.0 don't support C++17 or higher.
