    If you're just looking for a reason, it's been bottlenecking it for years Even a GT 430 on an old PCI bus needs at least 16 cores to operate properly

    What's the point in terms of energy efficiency to run an application with a GPU which needs 16 cores to operate at its full load. Are the 16 cpu cores also at full load whilst GPU at 100%?
