Image support for 4xxx cards

Will it ever happen?

I'm curious, as I've seen official development team statements that OpenCL image support will eventually be available for Radeon 5xxx cards. However, I have heard no official word on whether this will be exclusive to 5xxx and newer models, or whether 4xxx will be supported as well.

This is not such a pressing matter anymore as by now I have coped with the fact that I will have to work on my image data in 'raw' fashion but I was wondering whether there is any chance at all that my 4870 will one day have CL_DEVICE_IMAGE_SUPPORT, or whether there are hardware limitations that prevent this from ever happening.

Cheers
Daniel

Daniel,
There is no plan on supporting images on the 4XXX series of cards for OpenCL.

I have got only one comment. ATI's approach to quality of drivers, quality of SDK and quality of documentation is simply a joke. You are cutting corners so fast that I'm surprised that there are any left ...
