I'd argue that it'll soon be the other way around. Many of the improvements in Pascal were driven by scientific computing. It's easy to justify adding new features (like high speed 16 bit FP) when Facebook or Google is willing to buy datacenters full of the things.

Yeah I had similar thoughts when they announced the Nvidia 1000 line the other day. The 970 GTX, whilst great for gaming, was a huge disappointment for CUDA programming (dodgy memory issues). Whereas it seems they've really stepped up with the Pascal generation for CUDA, and gaming will benefit as a result.

If you're willing to bet actual money on your argument, I'll take the opposite side easily.
