Apparently Gaming cards and workstation cards share equivalent hardware. Ie my Geforce 8400GS is the same card as Quadro FX370 worskstation card. Difference is the drivers. All i have to do is use a program to trick the graphics card to run a different driver.
Well FUCK ME TO HIGH HEAVEN! i was all ready to put down $1200 for a workstation card too! and now your telling me i can get a superclocked GTX580 for a fraction of my budget and run a $3000+ Quadro 6000 graphics driver? I can run games AND 3d programs at the same time?
CHRIST!

That's pretty awesome.
There goes that 600$ budget.
