Having taken a look at the nVidia site it seems that the FreeBSD video driver is probably essentially the same as the Linux one (the documentation keeps saying Linux), but the CUDA stack is a completely separate product only available for Windows, Linux and Mac. Possibly the Linux one might be persuaded to work. As for OpenCL that would need documentation that nVidia chooses not to publish. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith
