Hello Math Community,
I'd like to try my first few steps with Cuda-Link. I can't get past step 1---and that is trying to find out if I can use it on my laptop.
I can't find a driver for my graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB on my Macbook from mid-2012 running 10.7.5. Although it feels like I am looking for a needle in a haystack.
Has anyone out there been succesful in getting Cuda to install and run on a system/graphics card like mine on M8? My initial explorations indicate that I can't use Cuda, but it would be nice to know if I should keep looking.
(* from M8 *)

{"Typical Uses", "3D graphics rotation"},
{"Vendor", "ATI Technologies Inc."},
{"Renderer", "ATI Radeon HD 6770M OpenGL Engine"},
{"Version", "2.1 ATI-7.32.12"}
}
A check on the documentation indicates that my graphics card is not supported, but a wolfram tech at the WTC2012 told me that he had seen cuda working on a mac similar to mine.
