Most of that posting is bashing on Nvidia, didn't expect that.

And well it is true, more advanced means smaller, means you can put more of those smaller things together to make bigger things lol

This is not a mainstream PC or gaming card and neither is Tesla.

They are cards for GPU computing in super computers.

GPU computing is the use of a GPU (graphics processing unit) to do general purpose scientific and engineering computing.
Supercomputing at 1/10th the Cost

High Performance Computing (HPC) - NVIDIA Tesla many core parallel supercomputing
