Yes, it's supported, especially for pixel color calculations, but *all* 
these GPUs also support IEEE single for the vertex calculations.

AFAIK, many of the smaller GPUs have too many limitations to be used as 
plausible Forth target, and the larger, like GCN, have no problems to deal 
with IEEE doubles.

For an overview over GCN, see here:
