The optimizations in the quadro drivers speed things up that aren't really used in games, and actually is a bit slower in games than the equivalent geforce model. If you use CAD or some 3D creation software, then the quadro would be better.

I think it's rather a choice of how much you want to spend. Both use the same unfied binary driver from nvidia.

| I think (not sure on this one) that the ATI Fire GL cards are better for Linux. |
