You know, your reply provided NO useful information regarding the 
problem at hand.

ALL GPUs in the market that are worth shit are proprietary. You bitching 
and moaning about the evil corporations "not releasing teh codez" is 
totally stupid and useless. All you end up doing is spamming this 
mailing list with useless messages and shunning off people with real 
concerns.

Please go away.
