3D cards do actually have some things which are useful to ray-tracing, like
all the geometry transformation operations, and the ability to run the same
code many times on different data very efficiently.  In fact I believe some
people have already written ray tracers for 3D cards with pixel shader
support.

Maybe in the future there will be a way for POV to take advantage of some of
these operations.
