thanks, Jordon

The article I talked was about GPGPU (meaning general purpose
computing on graphics processing units), a nVidia proprietary dev
environment CUDA, and PhysX technology used namely by Photoshop CS4
and several games. The article presents benchmarks that puts (on some
very particular use, true) amd/ati way behind nvidia cards.

Also refers a openCL that works on both platforms (not only on nvidia
like CUDA), open but still young.

As I really don't understand any of it, I thought of this as putting
the GPU doing CPU work, more than putting the GPU doing more graphics
work, or specific tasks like (de)compress and alike. A bit more than
DirectX.

Just to leave some of the googling names, sorry if it is very OT.
