Ubuntu – Install Nvidia drivers with cuda 10.0, ubuntu 18.04 and tensorflow gpu 1.13

18.04cudadriversgraphicsnvidia

I want to use tensorflow-gpu 1.13, but it needs cuda 10.0, not cuda 10.1 to work. My GPU is GeForce RTX 2070, ubuntu version 18.04.
Until now I worked with CUDA 10.1 (that's are nvidia-418 drivers) and tf-gpu 1.12.
Tried to purge nvidia drivers and install older ones- nvidia-410, but ubuntu is overwriting it again to 418.
It was like:

sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-410
reboot

and after

nvidia-smi

still got CUDA 10.1

Have you any ideas or solution how can I install CUDA 10.0?
Grateful for help!

OK, sorry for my absence. solved this, just one day after asked question. first of all i removed whole nvidia drivers (purge), then I made repository for graphics drivers and followed this code :

    Add NVIDIA package repositories
wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/cuda-repo-ubuntu1804_10.0.130-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1804_10.0.130-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/7fa2af80.pub
sudo apt-get update
wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/machine-learning/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/nvidia-machine-learning-repo-ubuntu1804_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./nvidia-machine-learning-repo-ubuntu1804_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get update

# Install NVIDIA driver
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends nvidia-driver-410
# Reboot. Check that GPUs are visible using the command: nvidia-smi

# Install development and runtime libraries (~4GB)
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends \
    cuda-10-0 \
    libcudnn7=7.6.0.64-1+cuda10.0  \
    libcudnn7-dev=7.6.0.64-1+cuda10.0


# Install TensorRT. Requires that libcudnn7 is installed above.
sudo apt-get update && \        
        && sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends libnvinfer-dev=5.1.5-1+cuda10.0

code from: https://www.tensorflow.org/install/gpu

when i check drivers nvidia-smi, I still got CUDA 10.1, but tensorflow-gpu == 1.13 works well.
