OpenCL.dll missing from your computer

I'm trying to test a Bitcoin GPU mining program, but it only runs on Windows and I have two Macs (2009 Mini and 2011 MBP)

I also do some gaming (Medal of Honor) but it also has runtime issues if GL/CL is not there. Does Fusion 7 support GL/CL for 3D gaming and coin mining? If so, how do I get/configure the VM for it to work?

Running Windows 7 and 8.1, got any tips?

Hi,

A GPU bitcoin mining application won't work as your virtual machine does not have direct access to the graphics card.

The graphics card that the VM sees is a virtualized piece of hardware.

A more detailed description can be found here: Frequently Asked Questions about VMware Fusion look under the paragraph "Virtual Hardware"

hope this helps,

Crossover (CrossOver 14 Mac | Run Windows Apps on Mac | CodeWeavers - CodeWeavers) might help (I only glimpsed on its capabilities but it seems to be capable to run the latest 3D games).
