Is it the Cuda cores that run the vertex/fragment/etc shaders in normal GPUs? Where does the ray tracing units fit in? How much of a modern Nvidia GPU is general purpose vs specialized to graphics pipelines?

A datacenter GPU has next to nothing left related to graphics. You can't use them to render graphics. It's a pure computational kernel machine.
