    Is there a reason that since upgrading GPUZ to the past two versions last one was 0.8.3 and now its 0.8.4,
    The check box next to Open CL and CUDA are no longer checked. Physx and direct compute 5.0 still are.

    Does the 780M's no longer support this? Google it and you get a million different answers.

    Probably just a software bug.

    Yeah, driver and/or GPU-Z bug. I have seen that numerous times before. If you dedicate the CPU to PhysX it will also uncheck the box. One of the 353.XX GeForce drivers (don't recall which one) had the OpenCL box empty when I tested it. I have also seen examples where the "installed" version of GPU-Z displayed the right box info checked but the portable version did not, and vice versa.
