Hello there!

From what I have read the driver 258.19 is OpenCL 1.1 (candidate) and the driver 260.61 is OpenCL 1.0. Can anyone explain why this is the case? Shouldn’t the driver 260.61 also be OpenCL 1.1?

Driver 258.19 is only the beta implementation of OpenCL 1.1 for developer which is not included in public drivers.
Some driver in the future should be released with OpeCL 1.1 when it is mature. However the development seems slow.
