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.
