Outside of the novelty of this, it is kinda pointless. We already got plenty of ways to gauge the performance of video cards, and thats in both camps.


Im pretty sure an ATI only benchmark would be flamed to hell at this point.




On a side note I am curious to see how this turns out, not so much for superpi but for the door of other possibilities that this may open up in the future. We have all seen how a CPU handles GPU calculations and now it will be interesting to see how a GPU handles CPU stuff. I would love to have the ability to offload various tasks to the videocard while not gaming. encoding x264 for instance...
