Stream on HD 3850

Funerall · January 4th, 2009, 11:34 PM

Hello my friends. I just want to learn if I can use Stream on my HD 3850 or not? I mean am I able to use Stream programming to make my own GPU based programs. I tried ATI's own video converting but it didn't work. That's why I'm asking...

Thanks a lot...

(By the way I'm using Catalyst 8.12)

Stream programming??? I dont understand what you mean, but I guess you wont be able to programs exclusive for ATi, it envolves knowing deeply how does cards work. Instead use openGL or DirectX.

I dont know what you mean by streaming program either,

but i know ATI has a program to conver DirectX games into OpenGL

and vice verse

* If you want to build your own programs, you need the Stream SDK.
* If you want to run Stream-powered-software, Catalyst 8.12 includes Runtime files so no action is required.

I mean Brook+ or something like that which makes ATI based graphic cards programmeble like CUDA. Stream was wrong I think.

How can I find Stream SDK?

Ati Stream is currently only available and works on HD4800 & HD4600 Amd plans to expand stream to all there hardware that can support it in a future Catalyst release
