The problem with using GPUs in this manner is that
the protocols for doing so are proprietary, and
often unpublished by the card manufacturers, they
differ in implementation, feature sets etc.

If the manufacturers start providing drivers for
doing so, then it might catch on, but IMO GPUs
aren't going to remain competitive with newer
multi-core processors anyways.

It might be possible to end up with a real-time
GUI preview via graphics card pipelines for POV
though, if tesselations of pov objects are eventually
built in.
