I have a ATI 6850 GPU and I get the message:

"An ATI GPU supporting double precision math is required"

This GPU does have double precision floating point.

Maybe de software doesnt recognize because it's a relatively new gpu?

Sorry, it does not support double precision.
Take a look at page 7 here

=/ Sorry, I knew the older ones did support, it seemed unlikely for newer ones not to...

Thanks for the info.

AMD slightly changed the numbering scheme. The upgrade from the 58xx series is the 69xx.
