I don't know about ATI/others, but NVIDIA graphics cards have only recently been able to do calculations in double precision (CUDA 2.0 was released ~August 2008). The current hardware implementation doesn't even take full advantage of the architecture (good explanation here: https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~csadmin/wiki/index.php/CUDA_Support/Enabling_double-precision#Performance; that kind of accuracy seems not to have been needed before).
