Well, I've been out of gaming for a while, so I don't know if this is still 
true, but GPU makers were always bitching about how most games are CPU 
limited, and so often GPU power goes to waste.  If you can use some GPU for 
non-interactive physics content (particles etc), then that's a nice bit of 
next-gen (if you will) optional eye-candy to chew up that leftover.
