I found a new version of OpenCL (AMD APP, Stream SDK, whatever they want to call it) in a leaked version of a beta driver. This driver supposedly gives Windows 8 support. Anyway, I don't give a bleep about the driver, just the OpenCL versions.
On Catalyst 12.3 with OpenCL version "2.6" my DLL versions are:
amdocl(64).dll 10.0.831.4
opencl.dll 1.2.0.0
From this leaked driver the DLL versions are:
amdocl(64).dll 10.0.898.1
opencl.dll 1.2.1.0
Uninstalled version "2.6", deleted the DLL's manually in System32 and SysWOW64 (necessary step going between versions!), then installed this new leaked version. Deleted my kernel bins in cgminer dir as usual, then launched...
Can't really see any change in performance. Hopefully this gives ckolivas and the kernel devs something to chew on and progress forward, though.
