(Post author here.) Yes, FP16 has been supported in NVIDIA GPUs as a texture format "forever" -- since before it was incorporated into the IEEE 754 standard. Indeed what is new in GP100 is hardware ALU support (and note denormals are full speed, which is even more important for lower precision formats).
