It is an interesting enough idea, but definitely does not guarantee a great market value just because of its name - having said that though I really, really love that there are more GPU coins coming out lately, as the market on that front has been dead for quite a while and there are now tons of miners with lots of mining rigs that cannot be properly used - instead everyone ends up mining the same set of coins more or less. We crave more variation!

I honestly don't know much about this coin. I'll just try to honestly represent what is available elsewhere on this coin.

People are stating to inject this into discussions on Bitcoin Cash. This is a thread where such folk can be sent for more meaningful discussion on BitcoinGPU.

Initial probe (?): https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/btcgpu-change-sha256-to-equihash-gpu-mining-only-protect-decentralize-2046790

Website: http://btcgpu.org/

The website indicates that BitcoinGPU is to be forked from Bitcoin Genesis at the same block height that Bitcoin Cash forked (478558). I can not yet find evidence of a single mined block. I may be missing it. Please respond below if you detect a BitcoinGPU block at height 478559 or higher.


From downthread:
The main website has now been updated http://btcgpu.org/ and the fork block has been set at #491407

What is Bitcoin GPU?
Bitcoin GPU is a full node implementation of the Bitcoin protocol.
GPU mining can protect Bitcoin Key value: Decentralize.

ROADMAP
Once Bitcoin ABC forked Bitcoin, BTCGPU will be activated at the same time.
It will be 1M+SW .
when the block size is full again, will en-crease  the block size to 2M,4M...
When mining?
When code development is done, starts to mining.
The developer is working hard on it.
It will support original smart contract.
If needed, hard fork again to support original smart contract.
not side chain smart contract.

ICO
BTCGPU will create 16000 blocks after forked from No 478558th Blcock.
every block 12.5 BTG.
it will be sold to ico investor.
1BTC=10BTG.
this ICO will help BTG chain the longest Bitcoin blockchain.
all rised BTC will used to hire developors, advertisement, etc.

ROBUST
A fork of the stable Bitcoin Core, Bitcoin GPU aims to build on this base with improved code quality. Development follows a process of continuous integration, based on industry best-practices.

SCALABLE
Bitcoin GPU implements the UAHF (User Activated Hard Fork) proposal to accept GPU mining. Miners can choose the size of the blocks they want to mine, with a default of 1 MB. It includes replay and wipeout protection.


MODERN
For too long, Bitcoin has been held back by the centralize mining industry. GPU brings Bitcoin into the modern age with an exciting technological roadmap to enable massive on-chain scaling well into the future with decentalize.
