The higher end cards yes not the lower end quadro cards I read on one of the forums typically for 3d design one of the users had 2 lower end quadro cards and his newer geforce gtx 760 was outperforming either of the quadro cards.
3dsmax has a special driver to utilize the quadro cards and it seems like they focused only now on the higher end quadro cards, example quadro 2000 - a $450 card only Memory Bandwidth of 41.6 GB/s , where a decent gaming card will quadruple this, topping at 260 GB/S and up for the same price....
Unless you're going to quadro 5000 for almost 2000 dollars still topping at only 120 GB/S memory bandwidth....
Stay with a standard good quality gaming card , you want lots of memory and good memory bandwidth... even quadro 6000 for $4500 if you can dish out that sum , well at 6 gigs of memory but only 144g/s transfer rate ...,
What you need is lots of volume and fast transfer rates...
you can do Industrial light & magic with 600 dollars GPU budget.
