I've tested the top quadro cards on the market, and benched them
against both nVidia 7900 and 7950 GT. Both of the gaming cards
put the quadros in the weeds in tests with AutoCAD 2007,
SolidWorks 2007, and Catia. As for straight up gaming benchmarks,
that is just a joke. If the quadro will run the benchmark at all, it
gives a score maybe 50% less than the 7950 in all areas tested.
