AFAIK comparing Quadro (and Tesla is composed of quadro) and GTX is comparing apples and apes. Because Quadro family has double precision floating point computations where GTX has single point precision floating point computations.
Again AFAIK This means, "forgive the speed of cores" : if the software is depending on double precision floating point calculations, Quadro+ family is the choice but if it does not, GTX family`s fast children will be the winner.
Depending on the software you use, the answer lies on this fact, not the clockspeed and cores.
I have a question for the Octane team (which is very important for me to decide on my new setup)
" Is octane depending on single or double precision floating points ? "
Thanks
