Software GPU acceleration with W500 FireGL 5700
Posted: Mon Dec 31, 2012 7:59 pm
I took a course that temporarily gives eligibility to educational software discounts, so it might be time to stock up.
Does anyone have experience with current software that accelerates with the FireGL 5700 ?
Confusion is created by the fact that AMD reused "5700". FireGL 5700 supports OpenGL (Open Graphics Language) , but, unless backwards compatible, modern graphics programs typically require OpenCL (Open Computing Language).
To avoid confusion, please respond only if you're currently running a graphics intensive program with GPU acceleration on a W500.
