Seeing as how nvidia has been pushing for GPGPU for a while now... it will probably help them out a lot if they improved their DP-FP.
ok, thats a bold claim there, and its based on speculation... and even if thats true, and there IS a lot of demand, then it doesnt mean its easily portable to gpu, and even IF its easily portable, it still doesnt mean its going to happen...

building a product for applications that dont exist is ridiculous... im surprised nvidia keeps blowing money on it before there is a propper infra structure... thats not how it works...

you either pick one or several existing tools and then accelerate your hardware for it, or you cooperate with the devs and build the infra structure together, they do the software you do the hardware, or you do both, software and hardware.

nvidia just creates the hardware and then waits for the software to come out of nowhere... except for some few tidbits of code they wrote for devs and then lets them use it for video transcoding and image processing...
