I'm trying to determine which AMD/ATI graphics based macs currently have OpenCL Image support. It will help inform my current development and purchase plans. I have coded up a tile based deferred lighting scheme, but it's rather useless if there is not broad support for OpenCL Images.
To help all you have to do is run the RayTraced Quaternion Julia-Set Example from Apple:

If you have OpenCL Image support you'll see an awesome 3d fractal, if not you'll get something like this:
I know already that the 4000 series does not have OpenCL Image support. But I am very interested in the 5000 series, which supports OpenCL Images in theory, but may be limited by the current driver.
I would be grateful if you could list your OS X version, Mac model, GPU model, and whether or not images are supported.

Qjulia requires images: Images not supported on this device.
