	HI, Boinc on the mac refuses to use the GPU (radeon 6870) is there anyway to get it to work? if i boot via bootcamp into windows Boinc sees and uses the GPU fine. the log from boinc on the mac says - No usable GPUs found

	BOINC developer for the Mac wrote: Because ATI / AMD never supported Macs with CAL, there is no BOINC support for ATI GPUs on Macs in 6.12.x. There will be OpenCL support for ATI GPUs in 6.13, but this is still under development. ____________ Jord - BOINC FAQ Service - BOINC User Wiki Real is just a matter of perception.

	Great news. Looking forward to 6.13 and cranking out some results with my 6870 too. Thanks! ____________
