Nvidia Launches Fermi-based Quadro GPUs

[johnxfire]

That sounds like nvida quadro commercial page. Truth is, quadro cards only have drivers that don't artificially limit their speed in windowed OpenGL, while having identical physical cores as their gforce counterparts.

Quadro cards are great for two things- OpenGL and wasting extra money. 3DS Max, for instance, has been using directx as primary api for over 10 years now. There are still programs that use OpenGL that benefit from quadro non limited drivers. Maya, while OGL app, isnt one of them

I'm actually not supporting nVidia - merely stating facts.

I completely agree that nVidia workstation cards are ridiculously expensive in contrast to their ATI counterparts, which are also quite expensive for specialized/non-limited drivers.
