| The performance price choice is:
gtx570 2.5GB €339 euro gtx580 1.5 €359 gtx580 3 €589 Quadro 4 €718 PC €843 mac
In what I can find, gpu benchmark and c4d benches show the 570 and 580 are pretty close.

+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.

That makes things interesting since the price difference between a Quadro 4000 and the 3GB 580GTX is less than $250 depending on where you shop for parts. 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.

The specific advantage of more VRAM is you can fit larger layers into memory instead of having them swapped out for processing. This is particularly an issue with environment maps in AE CS6 (see the first page of my review on PVC - http://tinyurl.com/AECS6onPVC). So I'd go for the 3 GB flavor.
