quadro's are NOT going to be slower than the equivalent geforce that they are based off of;
people like to think they are slower because they have specific drivers/driversets for them, which usually are older, therefore slower
e.g. Quadro FX 3000 vs FX5900 Ultra
comparison done at xbit-labs shows the quadro’s lagging by 15 fps in ut2003, BUT, when you look at the system specs, you see:
FX5900 with det 51 drivers VS. Quadro FX 3000 with the 3ds/ugi Det 45 drivers
ever wonder where the additional fps went?
in conclusion:
when system specs are identical, the quadro’s will have IDENTICAL OR BETTER performance UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES
