Well, the most attractive application of CUDA is not the graphics, but
parallel computing using modern graphic chips. The performance gain
for the parallelizable programs, which can use CUDA, is pretty
significant on a PC. I was looking into using it myself, and eagerly
waiting when somebody comes up with the Ada binding.
