    Anything above a 6970m/560m should work fine.

    Did you buy on the subscription plan? If you did, it steams updates at login, if not, make sure to get the day 1 update through the updater. There are problem with GPU rendering before the patch.

    anything that is NOT a 600 series nvidia kepler GPU, rebranded Fermi is OK for OpenCL
    CUDA does not matter as much as long as its a higher end card

    My 6970m pulls a 217 in the same test. CPU score is 241, and the combined score is 384.

    Cheers, just wanting to know what to upgrade to when I do.

    Are you talking about the update to unlock the GPU?

    I thought AMD was supported as well?
    Just not as many as Nvidia...
