An anonymous reader writes "At CES, Nvidia has announced a graphics card with 480 cores that can crank up performance to reach close to 2 teraflops. The company's GTX 295 graphics cards has two GPUs with 240 cores each that can execute graphics and other computing tasks like video processing. The card delivers 1.788 teraflops of performance, which Nvidia claims is the fastest single graphics card in the market."

    I don't think the purpose of a card like that is gaming. Sure, games will work very nicely with it, but paying several thousand dollars for a video card like this when your game is only going to use 10% of the available power is VERY wasteful.

    It could be. And it is indeed at least somewhat true (I can't tell you how I know that, sorry!)
