> GPUs run at a pretty low clock rate anyway (600Mhz-1100Mhz), should be able to get 300-400Mhz out of an FPGA An ASIC (GPUs are ASICs) running at 300 MHz can do a lot more per cycle than an FPGA at the same technology node running at the same frequency. A lot. Think order-of-magnitude more. > The faulty logic elements / LUTs could just be marked as bad and not used. This will screw up your timing, unless you reserve more setup slack (which in turn hurts the achievable performance).
