Adding OpenCL compatibility info to your GPU list would be hugely helpful and would avoid making incorrect purchases. In my case I bought a recommended GTX 960 only to find it was useless as an OpenCL card. My understanding is the GTX 970 does OpenCL well. I wish I had known that. The issue is that it's really hard to find definitive info as to card compatibility. At least I haven't been able to find it in my searches. I needed OpenCL for FCPX and Motion performance so I went out and got a used R9 280X which outperformed the 960 significantly. As it happened I just tested my son's old (he got a 1070, lucky kid) GTX 670 and it's a very good OpenCL performer.
In conclusion I'm sure everyone on this wonderful forum could run Luxmark and send back their results to tonymacx86 to include in his list. Essentially, in the ball render if the background is blank and the final result throws a red render error then the card is not OpenCL compatible. Thanks.
