It is certainly bad news for people who like to fold on gpu's. I recall how a developer was talking about milkyway@home and DP being better and more logical than it being on SP.

If DP is used in all folding app's the efficiency and accuracy would only increase. I would think not many people will buy tesla's just for folding and i know of many people who use the consumer part to fold, these kind of people are at a lose.

As to start with GF100's SP score is not that great anyways and the DP seemed very future proof and certainly inviting. For games it would not matter but for folding it would certainly and for a company which talks so much about "GPU-CPU is future" this is bit of a downer

Future is DP and the Quadruple precision floating point format there is no way around that fact for CPU processing or GPU-CPU processing
