All NVIDIA graphics boards from 8400 up are usable
via the CUDA interface.

The newest GT200 chip that is build into the
   GTX-280 boards
  (GTX-260 has a just a lower core count)
contains 240 cores.

There is a number-crunching-only version of
these graphics boards, called TESLA.

The hi-end-boards promise to reach 1 TFLOP (single precision)
and about 0.1 TFLOP (double precision).

This is existing technology that is in the market.
