Yes I do know that Tesla is based on the Fermi architecture, are you aware that they have 6GB of memory on them which would be totally useless?

You're talking about improving performance, I'm talking about cutting costs. I would have thought it would be pointless making an ATI "super GPU" equivalent to the Tesla, I'm saying it would be better to take a cheap consumer card (a HD 5850 for example) and cut the crap which isn't used. I'm pretty sure that the performance wouldn't budge, but that's got to have a fairly serious impact on the price.

Please don't take such an offensive stance, I am merely bouncing an idea off people.
