In the short term, yes, while the number of qubits is small and even smaller when you consider logical qubits require multiple real qubits to account for error.

In simplified terms though, for every logical qubit you add to the system, you effectively double the power of the machine. To double the power of your GPU stack, you'd need 2x more GPUSs each time. There is also the additional caveat of the type of problem - not every problem currently suited for a gpu is going to be better run on a qpu.
