Go on on your crusade Gstanford for an holy grail that does not exist (GM200 cannot go over 1:32). I won't delay you more.

I can't speak for other "Nvidia Fans", but debating and/or searching for clues as to software vs hardware disabled FP functionality is about as enticing as say, "Watching paint dry".
I'm a gamer. If Nvidia figures out how to weld a couple transistors to empty beer cans and make them run the games at the resolution/detail level I desire faster than their competition, that's a sale.
This bizarre tradition of "I have read Company Xs white papers, and the presence of Part Y in amount Z should translate to a 13.84% improvement in shader based AA methods!" leaves me cold.
A couple things are true:
1. I make no money memorizing or analyzing white papers
2. Whether disabled by hardware or software, it's out of my hands so I consider it a moot point. I'm not going to start bridging cut traces or running bathtub drivers in a quest for 5% more fps.
Rage on, Picao, but don't expect me to waste my time with it.
