And thats excatly right...
Cad renders much faster and these could be used in a render farm as well...
Oh adobe has already done that in CS4 all you need is a 8800GT card or higher and it used that for near real time work
Oh and those are can be used for that... alot quicker as well you should do some googleing
''THERE MUST BE A WAY'' to utilize telsa's sheer rendering power for gaming, even if it was used as a dedicated physics card (an expensive one i know)
from what i can gather, & i maybe way of the mark but i think the telsa takes over the CPU calculations in the 2D environment
so in theory this would replace your CPU ??, i refuse to believe that their raw power cant be used in some way to benefit complex game images.

Ok so ill start with the physics card... Ok a 8600GT has enough power to calcuate the physx in game because they dont require a large amount of calcuations and shader cores which is what Telsa use work a different way..
ok so think of a Telsa as a card with thousnads of little cpus on it calcuating one massive task but the thing is it can only run certian code not X86 code which is machine code it runs a special programming lanuage CUDA but it cant really render a 3d scene because well it has no proper GPU its only shader cores...
Therefore the tasks it can do are really super fast but the ones it arent programmed to do are just as slow as a cpu...
so yes it kind of does take the role of a cpu but with much more power but cant be used for anywhere near as much.
Hope this helps
not unless you can code EVERY game you have in C (forgot which iteration but dammit i know its a C language) that is CUDA aware... (or the game manufactures has a physics but yeah it possible as for a hacked versions i wont even go there...lol
other than that there is no possibility
as the drivers dont make it possible at this time...
if someone somehow reverse enginered the drivers thats another story...
lol yeh pretty much thats why they do thier thing kind of without interfernce... there are farms of them but they are working on one part each so not nesscairly have to be synced...
They would be great for that kind fo stuff hopefully they find thier way into medical etc
I'd rather make use of it to do something really kewl like Robotics competition....imagine, being able to write real code that could make robots track objects and obstacles in real time....
