I have installed nvidia-375 drivers with bumblebee by following this guide.

However, there appears to be no way to get OpenCL or CUDA support running on this GPU with or without optirun/primusrun.

Is there any way to get OpenCL/CUDA without uninstalling bumblebee? Thanks.

might be more simple to pull the source from nvidia, i did that a few months back for a crypto mining rig.

The general procedure 

sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential linux-headers-generic
sudo apt-get purge --remove nvidia*

wget nvidia and cuda chmod +x both ctrl+alt+f1 to init1 su to root

sudo service lightdm stop / sudo service gdm stop )

(cant recall if neveau blacklist required, the installer will let you know. If - may see How to disable Nouveau kernel driver)

ctrl+alt+f3 to init3 if the installer wants network access

if the installer fails for some reason and you need to reboot, end up with black screen - hit ctrl+alt+f1 for init1 again and resume setup or uninstall the failed install with ./installer.run --uninstall. ./installer.run

nvidia-smi or `cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version`
nvcc --version (or `-V` cant recall) altern `cat /usr/local/cuda/version.txt`

    Perhaps you could flesh this answer out with some more detail? I was unable to follow the instructions due to lack of links and normal CLI commands. – Ron Gejman Jun 20 '17 at 12:21
