I don't think there is a special version of a driver for supporting
OpenCL, but I may be wrong. Here are the results of some quick
searching:

*) For ATI cards, the following link contains the version of drivers
that support OpenCL, the "Tested Drivers (necessary for OpenCL GPU
support)" table:
http://developer.amd.com/GPU/ATISTREAMSDK/Pages/default.aspx


*) For NVIDIA I found the following link:
http://developer.nvidia.com/object/opencl-download.html


Currently I have NVIDIA driver 197.13
(http://developer.nvidia.com/object/cuda_3_0_downloads.html), and I can
run both CUDA and OpenCL apps.

I guess BOINC can be conservative and require a rather recent version of
drivers to make sure that OpenCL and CUDA/Stream are properly supported.

Subject: Re: [boinc_dev] OpenCL support?

Are OpenCL drivers separate from the NVIDIA/ATI display drivers?
I.e., does the NVIDIA driver from some version onward contain OpenCL
support?

If not: do OpenCL drivers have standard names?
