Nothing prevents you from using it to run games with all the graphics and physics option ON, but this also allows scientists to build data-intensive applications at only a fraction of the cost when compared to building the same setup without GPUs. The power-efficiency for parallel computation is without equal, and that’s why a few of these cards and 2000W of power can process as much data as a room with millions of dollars’ worth of regular servers.
NVIDIA didn’t mention when the new card would be available, but if you were looking for the absolute highest performance card that can be plugged into a home rig, this is pretty much it. Time to max out every single game setting, and that’s particularly true if you just got one or two 4K displays.
