Because of the double-precision and other non-gimped things (like drivers) for Quadro cards, CAD programs benefit a lot more. Gaming cards are typically noticeably slower (sometimes as little as 10% slower, sometimes as much as 90% slower) even with higher clock speeds.
Indeed! Most of the time so about 80% slower.
When you bench both cards with a graphic demo, you will see nearly no difference, because the demos are optimized for gaming cards. So don't let this fact fool you.
Then there are drivers or the lack of. Some programs like autocad prefer to use a so called heidi driver. It's a kind of enhanced opengl driver. You can't get those drivers for gaming cards, you have to buy the professional graphic card.
