Cards with Games/DCC

[iaMBRuTaL]

Hi, I'm currently building a computer not only for games but also for DCC software such as Maya, SoftImage, and 3D Studio MAX. I haven't been able to find any benchmarks comparing high-end Nvidia GeForce/Quadro and ATI Radeon cards. (Bad experience with FireGL cards!) I was wondering if anybody knew of anyplace with benchmarks for, or had any experience with these cards with not only games but also DCC apps. I just want to know comparatively speaking how well Quadro works with games, and how well GeForce/Radeon works with DCC apps so I can make a decision! Thanks for any help!

From what I've heard, the quadro versions of Geforce cards play games 5 to 10% slower than their gaming counterparts, but I have no proof or links to give, so maybe it's just something I made up.

Hmm thanks for that! I wish it had game cards and game benchmarks as well! I just can't find anyplace with game/dcc benches with game/dcc cards! Thanks again tho!
