I was reading a little on GPUs and heat and it seems that NVidia has hotter running GPU then AMD and the future ones Kepler will be running at 225 watts. they are talking 4 fan configs and all kinds of crazy cooling needed. Even power supplies are being pushed well over 1000 watts with these.

with nvidia pushing GPU with such a strong heat issue i dont see any way in hell that apple is going to want to cram a nvidia gpu into one of their systems.

- CUDA
- Drivers ( my 330m is alot faster now than in 2010, it runs Crysis 1 on high with the new drivers )

With my experience of AMD/ATI cards, I didn't saw such big upgrade in performance with new drivers. But maybe that's just me.
