if you are gonna go quadro, the price difference between the 2000 to the 4000 is marginal, get the 4000.

I think some of this comes down to how much you push the cards. in a hard use pro environment the quadros will just work day in / day out. the GFX cards may not survive long term heavy use like this. for consumer / ore casual use the GFX cards are probably fine

the 4800 is also at this point pretty much off the buy list. it works if you have one just fine for Prem Pro...  but for AE it falls short compared to the 4000

What’s always been true about Quadro and FirePro/GL cards is the certification. Especially for some 3D apps used in mission critical, large app situations is both the GPU manufacturer and app developer certify cards. For some environments, this is critical, for many others it’s not. It appears to be no different for Adobe Apps. The higher markup is mostly to cover testing, certification and support. The Quadro cards are going to get much more attention in that process than consumer.
 
I think for most people here, myself included, that difference is not extremely important. But it is an important issue for some (e.g. I have a couple of friend who are Pro-E modelers and certified hardware is a big issue in their world).

Love to know the newer to that as well but the for that huge price difference the particulars may not be so important if it plays nice with Premiere and AE CS6

Since there has been a number of suggestions on which card to buy for optimum CS6 performance, I found this article on NVIDIA's website for those that are interested in their cards…
 
 
They break it down to  for the different CS6 workflows; production premium, Premiere, AE, SpeedGrade, etc.
 
My apologies if someone else has already mentioned this page!
