[PyCUDA] use PyCUDA or PyOpenCL without Visual Studio

[Bogdan]

Hello,

I am interested in testing the GPU processing capabilities of a Quadro FX 570
card. I would like to know if it's possible to install and use PyCUDA (and/or
PyOpenCL) without Visual Studio on a Windows computer. The instructions at
http://wiki.tiker.net/PyCuda/Installation/Windows don't indicate such an option. 

On a related note, when I check the current driver version for the card, I see
8.16.11.9100 (which seems to have CUDA capabilities). How is this related to the
190.38 version that NVIDIA provides on the Download CUDA page?

Thank you.

Best regards,
Bogdan
