I just happened across this article about the new Nvidia GTX Titan Z graphics
card that sounds really amazing (although quite unaffordable for me):

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2455405,00.asp

A couple of things that stood out to me:

"The GTX Titan Z packs two Kepler-class GK110 GPUs with 12GB of memory and a
whopping 5,760 CUDA cores, making it a 'supercomputer you can fit under your
desk,' according to Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang."

"Nvidia also introduced a new GPU rendering appliance called the Iray VCA, which
'dramatically accelerates ray tracing' for photorealistic rendering."

And only $50,000!  I'll take two!  (Maybe they have a special 2-for-the
-price-of-1 deal? Like on those late-night TV ads?) :-P
