How hard would it be to be 100% sure that GPU mining will cost more in electricity than CPU per kilohash?

I estimate GPU uses 4 to 10 times the power of CPU, so as long as GPU wont speed things up more than 3 times, DRK will be CPU coin forever. Of course anybody with a gaming rig and 3 GPU's would get 10 times the hash rate of normal PC, but they are also spending 1kilowatt hour, every hour.

We can't really do anything to stop miners from moving to GPUs in the eventual. It doesn't look like anyone has succeeded in making a miner that works well yet though. GPUs are in the natural life cycle of a crypto though and I'd like DarkCoin to follow the same path as Bitcoin did.
