Um...my gf8400 has 16 stream processors in it. And it cost ten bucks. But the latency involved with offloading processing to it isn't worth it. You don't want to offload anything to the gpu unless you have a hundred or more concurrent operations that you need to run. You don't do it for fast math, you do it because you need massive parallelism.
