My take-home message from a recent NVIDEA presentation in our lab was
that number of floating-point processors within the GPUs is shifting
towards 16bit FPUs at the cost of reducing (or maintaining) the number
of 64bit FPUs . As a general trend, this means a shift towards faster
graphic processing rather than towards faster scientific processing.
Indeed in the quick search on benchmarks I just did, I only saw ~30%
improvement mentioned with respect games that I have never even heard
of. Thus keep your scientific processing expectations under control!
My two cents,
Marin
