Why in hell not enable it for consumer products (if, and i may be wrong here, the hardware feature is present on all high end Fermi chips)? Texture streaming is extremely important there to. I am working in a scientific visualization context and we do have access to Quadro Boards, but we can not afford these a lot cards for every workstation where we develop and demonstrate large volume and image rendering software. The Fermi Quadro boards currently are extremely expensive, so access to them is almost impossible to us.
