fp32 is almost never "gimped," since that's the basis of performance for most video games and 3D applications. perhaps you meant fp64? That sees more use in industrial apps (e.g. oil and gas exploration) and so is often slower on consumer cards, and historically was artificially limited. For recent GPUs, it's not quite fair to call fp64 gimped, since the fp64 equipped cards are completely different designs - the lack of fp64 on this card is a design choice, not an artificial restriction for product segmentation.

It's fp16 that they neglect on the consumer cards. On the Tesla p1xx variants they now have full double-speed fp16, which is a great feature for machine/deep learning users. Leaving this out of the consumer cards is certainly annoying.
