Title: How to update drivers/get OpenCL on a Sony Vaio?
Post by: Lgetty17 on April 21, 2013, 08:21:08 AM
So sony requires you to update drivers via their site- the "latest version" doesnt have OpenCL (FUCK SONY!)

I have an Nvidia 8400M GT. Tried downloading latest driver, would not install. Cannot find a modified a modified .inf file for my latest driver... Tried using another driver with modified .inf, but it wouldnt work... HELP!

A couple (http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-cards/36368-windows-not-recognizing-nvidia-geforce-8400m-gt.html) of links (http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/29915-sony-vaio-vgn-fz485u-with-geforce-8400m-gt-win-8-64bit-driversinf/#entry144722) I found googling. I hope they help.

Not sure if this is what you want to hear, but I have windows 7 32 bit and tried the same thing with my vaio.

None of the homebrew drivers seemed to install OpenCL for me. Maybe better luck with 64bit homebrew drivers as they're newer?
