drjones266 :
Does anybody have any links to benchmark test for these two workstation graphics cards? I can't find anything. Was wondering which one you guys thought would be a render 3d faster while also providing faster video rendering for Adobe Premiere.
Thanks!
It's a start:

G3D Mark
W7000 - 4038
Quadro 4000 - 1896
Not even close, but how well does the G3D translate to your task? YMMV but the wide difference may suggest superiority overall.
The w7000 has 4GB of RAM, twice the amount on the Quad4000.
A second graphics evaluator backs this up:

What tests were done? Again, YMMV.

"NVIDIA’s work with Adobe on the Mercury Playback Engine for Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 not only earned a lot of press for NVIDIA, but it made their Quadro cards the product to get for serious Premiere users."
A testimonial, but no hard numbers.
I'm outta time looking, but maybe an NVIDIA/Adobe nut can add first hand experience.
