Snow Leopard OpenCL and 8800GS

[aki]

ive looked around and seen questions but not answers...

will opencl be used by imacs with the nvidia 8800gs??.....its not on the apple list and some people say its a typing mistake but apple would have fixed that by now i think

there doesnt seem a technical reason why 8800gs cant do it as far as i know but thats not far

have anyone heard anything more on this??

😕

'My friend says there's not much documentation up yet about OpenCL and that the current Snow Leopard release might not even have support for it yet, as it's more of a testing bed for basic compatibility with Snow Leopard's main system, acceleration techniques notwithstanding.

He filed a ticket though, and an engineer stated that the 8800 GS is really a GTS card with a "nickname," and the specs referred to on the Snow Leopards page list do include the 2008 iMac's high-end card. In fact, the 8800 GS is as powerful as the GT 130 that's in current iMacs, and actually more powerful in certain benchmarks."'
