Hello,
I had a Zotac Geforce GT 610 which I sold and now am looking for a graphics card.
My primary use is for 3d modeling (3ds Max, Maya), Sculpting (Zbrush, Mudbox), Texturing (Mari, 3dcoat) and Photoshop. Maybe rendering too.
My secondary use is for games like Arkham series, Crysis, NFS, etc.

So, my question is
1)should I go for a Quadro card or a Geforce card. This is for my home pc, not a workstation computer.
2) Can you suggest me a GTX card that is better than a GT 610 but in the budget range of a GTX 560.

Please keep in mind my system configuration given below. Thanks in advance.

Core i5 4400S @ 2.80 GHz, 1 x 8GB DDR3 Kingston HyperX Fury, Gigabyte H81M - S, Kingston SSD 240 GB, Seagate 500GB Expansion Drive, Antec BP450PS 450w SMPS, Antec VSK 4000 Cabinet, Antec A20 CPU Cooler, Windows 10 64 bit.

First you need to figure out if any of the processes get any benefit from having a Quadro? Looking at what you are doing, I dont believe so, but im not an expert on 3d modeling.

In my opinion I would suggest a GTX 950, but I suspect thats out of budget?

Otherwise a used 750 Ti would be a good option.
