a technology that transforms real-time audio into video and performs
audio effect processing on the GPU of your NVIDIA 3D video card, the
latest of which are apparently capable of more than 40 gigaflops of
processing power compared to less than 6 gigaflops on Intel and AMD
CPUs." Another reader points out a story on [1]Tom's Hardware.

There was a software company that supposedly created software to run everyday programs off of your GPU and vram in addition to the cpu and sysram. I think they claimed that a current gpu (at the time i guess) could beat out any cpu (at the time) by at least 40x.

That was like 1 or 2 years ago and we have yet to see such a product, so...
 
so am i right in thinking all this software does is takes the workload from the CPU and puts it on your GPU instead? i mean u still need a soundcard right?
 
Oh wow! Really cool. nV has always been good with software, but that sounds great. I cant wait to see it in action.
 
I think I remember rading something that said todays fastest gpu's are more than 10x faster than any of AMD's or Intel's cpu's...
