I wouldn't want that. If the GPU is doing calculations, or physics, it's not doing graphics, and I like graphics, it's what I buy GPUs for. If people are prepared to fund my graphics habit by buying GPUs to make supercomputers from them, that's fine, but it's not what I want from GPUs.

My last system ran IL2 pretty well (p4-2.8, 1.5gig of HyperX DDR 3500, and Nvidia 6800 Ultra), but too much flak from ships, for example really slowed it up big time, and the Kamikaze trk hit a low of 7fps. I recall a COOP mission I made where the Allied objective was to shoot down 8 Ju-52 before they could reach their drop point for their paratroops. Well, what a slide show that was when those guys all jumped! LOL!! All this at 12x9 rez.
Good old AGP! But I agree with you about leaving the GPU to do graphics.
