How does nVidia CUDA affect game performance?

wip3out_6573 asked:


I know that nVidia cards now support CUDA, I know what it is, but how does it affect game performance?

Also, If I got a nVidia GTS 250, would that noticeably increase performance as well?

Please do not recomend me any ATI cards because every single one I’ve had has broken in some way or another.
