I am planning to upgrade to the new 27 inch 2012 iMac with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX graphics processor to use with FCPX. I see from the Apple website that FCPX relies on OpenCL from the following link:

www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/

However, I don't see OpenCL supported on the GTX 680MX on the NVIDIA website. look at this link:

www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/ge...680mx/specifications

Apple doesn't have the GTX 680MX listed as support on their site:

support.apple.com/kb/HT4664

So what I am asking is... Does the GTX 680MX in the new 2012 iMacs support OpenCL that FCPX needs?

I see this may be the answer to my question?

OpenCL is a trademark of Apple Inc., used under license by Khronos.

I think anything Apple sells from now on out is OpenCL, since it is actually built in to the OS now, as is the Postgres database engine that runs FCP X.

I've noticed that list doesn't really keep up with the release of new Macs as it should, also.
