Supported OpenCL GPU cards

Comments

    If I have an OpenCL enabled graphics card installed, is there a way of of objectifying that C1 is using the GPU indeed?

    Also, how do the various compatible graphics cards differ in their OpenCL support?

    I would not mind getting a card with the recommended NVidia GeForce GTX 285, but these tend to be quite loud and power hungry. Is there a recommendation for a less powerful GPU that allows passive cooling like the GT 520 or the GT 430?

    (sorry if I missed other threads dealing with this topic already)

    thanks,

    OpenCL is compatible with most newer cards. Internally Capture One determines if it makes sense to utilize the card.
    The more "processing cores" the better.
    Currently the best card is sold by Apple is: ATI Radeon HD 5870. Other options are Nvidia 285. For Windows machines better alternatives are available, but these two are great.

    The GT520 is OK, but not nearly as good as the 285.

    Thanks Lionel for the swift reply, I really appreciate it!

    Just one more follow up question: will a less powerful GPU like the GT520 suupport all functions, only slower? Or will a faster GPU, like the 285 actually support more functions being delegated to the GPU?

    thanks,

    Hm. How current is the list?

    When I made a bug report about OpenCL often crashing with OSX 10.7.2 (and all versions since I started using CaptureOne) when viewing the Detail panel on my MacBook Pro 6,2, I got the reply my graphics card was “probably not supportedâ€.

    But the linked document states:

    GeForce GT 330M (Macbook Pro 2010, MacBookPro6,2)


    That’s exactly my configuration.

    I have a Mac with AMD/ATI card incoming in two weeks in hopes it was a NVIDIA issue with OSX. Apple after all pretty much dropped NVIDIA for good with their current machines, so drivers might be underdeveloped. But seeing the GPU that in part made me shell out for a new computer listed as “supported†makes me wary of how well-compiled this FAQ listing is.

    Cheers,
