Newcomer here.
I just upgraded to maxwell4, thanks Black Friday, knowing that it only uses CUDA for parallel GPU, we mostly use vray for production work, we have just upgraded hardware at the office, and I basically made the decision to incorporate amd's firepros into the new machines just to take advantage of vRayRT's OpenCL utilizing both CPU and GPU in conjunction for parallel processing for faster previews, final renders are always done by CPU, mostly huge memory hungry scenes.
As from last year that I win a promotional maxwell3 license I have been loving it increasingly, I'll hope to use amd's GPU processing in the future into maxwell, to keep pushing this workflow, if this starts a trend using CPU&GPU at the same process, will only work in a non proprietary implementation, I think, or if only nvidia star not caring in only selling you GPUs.
