Not yet, but you have tro wonder how much CPU you can save by pushing some
of the rendering of those fancy UIs onto the card.
Theres also the potnetial of using high end graphics cards to run DSP
sofrtware, there quite good at FFTs aparently, something like 20x faster
than a good P4.
<question mode="dumb">
But how do you get the result back?
can graphics cards give data back to the cpu, or is it just a 1-way trip
to the monitor?
