I already answered that with a quote on what nVIDIA told Anandtech. So unless you have better source on info than nVIDIA themselfs or actually say that they are lying I don't know what's your point.
And now my question to you. If GK104 could be more powerful at DP than it already is under GeForce, why didn't nVIDIA promote it as such in Tesla? After all its a smaller chip, cheaper to manufacture. But they promote it as a Single Precision workhorse instead as Tesla K10.
Humor me. How is it that it's able to complete DP tasks if there isn't any hardware to do it?
And to answer your question (not with another question), I don't presume to know why Nvidia does what it does. Sometimes a company may do things that to you and I, does not make any sense, but to them and their plans might be perfect for them. So don't ask me why or why not Nvidia or AMD or Intel does what they do. They have their reasons even if you think they might be stupid reasons.
