nVidia has told Apple Insider that they will release the GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition in June 2009. nVidia has not yet disclosed complete details, but the component will be manufactured by EVGA and offer two dual-link DVI ports instead of a Mini DisplayPort. It looks like the Mac version will feature 240 processor cores and 1GB of GDDR3 memory as the standard configuration. nVidia also announced the Quadro FX 4800 for the Apple Mac Pro, with 1.5GB of onboard memory but only 192 graphics cores. Both graphic cards support nVidia’s CUDA technology and the upcoming OpenCL standard that will be utilized in Mac OS X Snow Leopard. [Apple Insider]

I have been waiting for this! Important development for appreciation of OpenCL system/application acceleration for another class of Mac Users. Opens up both OpenCL and CUDA to scientific programming under OS X without high entry cost of the Quadro products. The only reason I run Bootcamp/Windows is to access GTX card, so if this pans out I can stop wasting my time with it. Might even get some good game ports to the Mac now.
