GPU's still only have a quite small amounts of memory, that greatly limits the type of work they can do.

High end GPUs can have up to 12GB of ram now, which I have to admit is starting to get reasonable. Just a few more doublings and you've got what high end render machines have, which I understand is in the range of 64GB to 128GB. Although I've heard that some simulation oriented machines have 256GB to 512GB.
