> it's likely there will still be a lot of CPU/GPU chatter At least on today's consumer cards (admittedly I haven't tried anything really high-end), one issue I've had with this is that it gets even worse (by far) when more than one program is trying to use the GPU. If you're editing photos in Lightroom while alt-tabbing to a tutorial in the browser, and everything is trying to GPU-accelerate its operations, contention goes way up and things start blocking on GPU contexts and data transfers.
