    Hello, long ago I have my Nvidia GTX670M and always in the GPU-z option does not appear I marked the OpenCL, I've seen some screenshots of other 670 M, 670MX, 675 M, and if you have this option marked.

    Can what be the problem?

    Try 314.22 driver from nvidia with .inf from laptopvideo2go.

    All versions of drivers I tried other than this also didn't have OpenCL enabled.

    Bleh... sorry to have wasted your time..

    Even on my previous card GTX 260M, when I update my drivers, it's sometimes disabled.

    From Wiki:

    Open Computing Language (OpenCL) is a framework for writing programs that execute across heterogeneous platforms consisting of central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), DSPs and other processors. OpenCL includes a language (based on C99) for writing kernels (functions that execute on OpenCL devices), plus application programming interfaces (APIs) that are used to define and then control the platforms. OpenCL provides parallel computing using task-based and data-based parallelism. OpenCL is an open standard maintained by the non-profit technology consortium Khronos Group. It has been adopted by Intel, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Nvidia, Altera, Samsung, Vivante and ARM Holdings.

    If you don't need it, I guess you can just ignore it....
