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.

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.
