Open GL Graphics Cards - for 6.2?

Paul2
did the recent upgrade to C1 6.2 make any changes to Open GL card support list?
I am about to buy a new card for my Windows machine, and want to get a recommended one for GL support.

I thought I had it on my FirePro v4800 card, but it seems that is not supported for Open GL.

    FWIW, PhaseOne has stated (correctly) that OpenGL is a very loose "standard"...and IMHO is very dependent on the driver version. It is not so much PhaseOne supporting individual cards as much as testing existing cards with current drivers. One can find that an older card/driver will not support OpenCl...whereas updating the driver enables/enhances that functionality...this is something to try first if you driver version is dated...

    it goes without saying that newer cards with more memory function better...and PhaseOne has found the NVidia cards have enhanced OpenCl capabilities...but again, this was before the latest driver release fro AMD cards (I use both). I prefer NVidia, but needed a Displayport output...so went with an ATI Radeon.

    If you don't have a brand preference, the rated NVidia cards are top performers in both COne and Photoshop...I have the 480 which was top of that series when built, and while a 580 probably outperforms it today...it has been very reliable and easy to update the driver....an advantage over ATI, again IMHO....
