PerformanceTest 8.0 results, with the quadro:
Here are results with the same i5 and GeForce 9600 GT (a gaming card)
My results with HD 2000, geforce and quadro in SpecViewPerf look to strange for me compared to these (not the quadros but the GTX 680):
I find reason only if there's a lot of lies around professional graphics cards.
When I'll have the time I'll try to dump the opengl calls and see what is so different they say and highly optimized they say with quadro.
From the user experience point of view in Autocad 2011 with the embedded GPU Intel 2000, the 2d drawing and the 3d view cube flickers when doing pan. There's also a short delay when hovering over a huge hatch. I think it's a driver issue, for GeForce 9600 GT, the tested quadro and an embedded HD 2500 there's no flickering in fact no actual performance difference in tested software.
IMO the only part that looks interesting in that workstation is the Quadro.
Memory bandwidth looks ok: 76.8 GB/sec and it has Geforce 8800 chipset G80.
I would choose to buy a brad new CPU I5 or I7 without GPU and if needed a second hand Quadro if and only if I was supposed to work with Autodesk software or ProEngineer.
A new pc because of warranty ~ 3 years in my region, because electronics can fail after 4 years if exposed to high temperature (failure or improper cooling), because of dust and contacts corrosion.
And I would look at single thread performance because OpenGL is mostly single thread and CPU intensive.
Good luck with this.
