I do not think so.
As far as I know you will have to write the soft do do specific math on
that card.
There is a SDK I think.
You would start with a mathematical problem, and look what parts best can
be done by the GPU.
It is, at least at this time, not a PC boost card or such.
The Radeon HD4800 seems to beat the Nvideo competion though in many
aspects,
here some article in German I just found:

Maybe you can run it through babelfish translation or some site like that.
