+1 for GTX 580 (3GB). I've recently got one and I'm very satisfied with its CUDA performance. I don't have any benchmarks against Quadro 4000, but it certainly feels faster.

I would love to hear from anyone who's tried CS6 with the 580. I suppose if someone were to do a render test in Premiere Pro 5.5 it might give an indicator of what advantage you could get with either card but without a base to compare it to this is all speculative. If you go with raw Cuda cores the 580GTX has twice as many plus more RAM than the Quadro. That alone should make a major difference but it's all about the drivers.
