There are a few old as the hills demonstrations that were never made to use GPU-supported versions. And I'll grant that resurrecting PPUs could still be cool "just for the lulz" of being able to say that you are offloading every[Note 1] game between 2.3.1 and 2.8.1.[Note 2] But that's it.

You shouldn't expect extra effects[Note 3] and even with the CPUs of the day you'd have been hard-pressed to justify purchasing a card on the basis of performance outside of those specific cases/levels/games designed to showcase the technology (and even this excuse was blown away once CUDA came).

Of note that nvidia's also affected the ageia cards. Also, it would be interesting to know what ForceDeviceType did inside their hklm registry key (disassembly shows it should accept either AG1011 or AG1021 as values).
