Response to edit: more like they couldn't pull it off so they asked people to buy a better graphics card. That's in their own race. Then I pointed out doing graphics operations, mostly rendering, almost entirely on a graphics card designed for that was barely an accomplishment vs stuff like in C64 demoscene. .kkrieger had me way more impressed due to all the elements involved vs size. So, I suggested subsetting or constraining the graphics card so its hundreds of millions of transistors don't just hand people their victories. Plus allow more creativity.
