GTX 3GB 580 vs Quadro 4000 - Work machine.

[mr_syco]

Hey everyone, I've been doing a lot of research and for my price bracket it seems the two cards I've narrowed it down to is the 3GB 580 and the quadro 4000.

Background:
Package of choice - Maya

Wanting the card mainly so I can handle really large shaded poly scenes in the standard view port without lag.

Would like to get this part brought rather fast as its the only part of my old rig not upgraded, any advice would be helpful.

You should wait 2 months (if possible) because Nvidia is coming out with their new series of Quadro cards very soon...
