GPU Audio

Interesting concept, though I think there could potentially be a flaw in it - most DAWs aren't built with powerful graphics cards in them. The instant that you do, you've essentially built an ultimate gaming rig (especially if you put in multiple graphics cards). The more powerful graphics cards generally each take three power inputs, come with three fans, and typically heat up to somewhere between 70-90 degrees C under heavy load. Once that happens, you're going to need a very robust cooling solution which likely means a lot of additional noise: something that might be acceptable if you're playing the latest games (just turn the sound up higher to in an attempt to drown out the fan noise), maybe less so if you're finely balancing a complex mix or adding a few more recordings to a project.

Not sure how this concept translates to SoCs (like the new Apple chips) either, as they share memory between the components (as far as I understand).
