Nvidia G8800 GTX or Nvidia Quadro FX

I'm going to buy myself a new pc beginning of 2007 with (hopefully) a 30" lcd display.
What graphics card does the best job for the massive screen resolution of 2550x1600 px : the latest G8800 GTX of the quadro FX 4500 ?

Thanks

Actually I need it for both worlds : gaming and workstation stuff : DTP, rendering movies (adobe premiere pro), designing with illustrator, ...

>2550x1600

Assuming you mean "2560x1600", yes, both the 8800GTX and R600 will output this resolution. They all have dual-link DVI ports.

As for 1080p, no, neither will drive it as 1080p - it will have to be upscaled to fit on the display - whether by the monitor or the card. I suppose you could force it to display on a 1:1 pixel map, but you'd be wasting approximately a third of the screen on black space.

I would imagine that 1080p video would look *amazing* on the 3007 monitor - it won't be any worse than a true 1080p screen (and will probably be significantly better) - but it won't be displaying in native 1080p. In exactly the same way as a 1080p screen won't display native 720p - it upscales.

As far as I am aware the 8800GTX has full support for HDCP.
