Repost of my post there:

GTX580 with 3GB. A lot faster than Quadro 4000 in CUDA and a lot more memory (important for big scenes). And cheaper.
But: very hot if sits in adjacent slots with another 580s... Quadro will be colder. In that moment I'm in process of setting a watercooling to my 4 x GTX580...

Additionally - you can read THIS. Jeff Patton uses iRay, but the principles of CUDA-card choosing are the same for all GPU-renders.

TNXs a lot for youre comment.

How can i measure the differences between gtx and quadro g. card?

i've seen a lot of comments about quadro performs better, because driver,clockspeed etc.

only one gtx 590 from asus, will perform better than quadro in speed ??
