OpenCL + 4870?

Please could someone help me get OpenCL to work on my 4870?

I have installed the latest catalyst Driver 13.1 for my card : http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/legacy/Pages/legacy-radeonaiw-vista64.aspx

I have attempted to install the AMD APP SDK v2.8 but my card is not supported it seems.

I am running 64bit Windows 8.

thanks

Install Catalyst 12.1-12.3 because OpenCL support was removed from them.

Is this the case for the Linux Legacy Catalyst Driver 13.1 ( AMD Catalyst™ Driver for AMD Radeon™ HD 4000, HD 3000 and HD 2000 Series ) as well ?

I've just installed it on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (with a few patches so that the kernel module will compile against kernel 3.6) and when using OpenCL no GPU device can be be found (but a CPU device can be found).

If it is the case that the OpenCL drivers were removed how do you know? I can't find release notes for this particular driver and libOpenCL.so is shipped with this driver.

I know only because other people find out in tis forum that with newer version of catalyst OpenCL didn't work. You can try install older version of SDK and maybe it will find GPU as OpenCL device.
