From my perspective, the biggest limitation in using GPUs for more general purpose computations is the communication latency. I published a paper that came to that conclusion: http://people.cs.vt.edu/~scschnei/papers/debs2010.pdf

In short, parallelism is not enough to get benefit from using GPUs. You need parallelism and data reuse.
