It's official. GPUs are not just about graphics any longer. With the release of its latest generation G80 chip and accompanying CUDA driver, Nvidia's GPUs are now equal-opportunity, floating-point compute engines aimed at a wide variety of uses. Make no mistake: The company isn't backing off 3D graphics, and the G80 promises to push both throughput and render effects to the next level. But now the company has another angle to push its chips: high-performance, general-purpose computation for demanding, floating-point intensive applications in a new category called GPU Computing.
