Thanks for the link and I certainly have heard that sentiment before. However, no one in that thread spoke about an experience in which they proactively claimed "no difference" while using the optimzed drivers. The Quadro cards have an optimzed driver for 3DSMax.

What are talking about here in price, anyway? Aren't high end gamer cards more than $200?

Edit: looks like the Geforce 8800 GT is between $270-300
