Nvidia has started releasing CUDA software which basically allows you to program with the GPUs. Some of the results from the latest cards are showing 6x the raw processing capability than top CPUs for certain operations. |
CUDA has also opened up the power of GPUs. This is why the GTX 280, and to a lesser extent the GTX 260, are so freaking powerful for a single core card.
