Intel, AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards all support OpenCL. You might have to
install the proprietary graphics drivers for OpenCL support though. I had
to do that on my AMD card but I play games so I'd have to install them
anyway.
AMD cards work the best in terms of OpenCL according to benchmarks, but
their drivers on Linux are **** (they are improving but they aren't quite
there yet). NVIDIA and Intel cards have better drivers. Unfortunately I
can't find any benchmarks for OpenCL performance on Linux, because driver
performance does play a part as well.
