Intel also said this still some stuff (ME) is being done on the EUs, i see those chips more as hybrids, though well see if Nvidias is also a Hybrid or a real independent Asic

also this is most interesting in this Mpeg-2 test the old GTX 580 cuda cores could beat the GTX 680 encoder very strange this let me believe the Mpeg-2 Cuda fix was setting in here which was introduced to avoid a design bug in the VP4 decoder so the Mpeg-2 decoding get relayed to the CUDA cores not the DSP, though Tomshardware doesn't know that, so they must have forgotten to disable that for the VP5 decoder in the GTX 680
Though most impressive for me personaly is this
