GTX 285 or Quadro 4000?

[Evin Grant]

Looking to get a primary card for a one GPU resolve/premier system, is the GTX 285 still the best choice? I know they're discontinued but you can get them on ebay for 1/2 the price of a 4000. I do have a GT120 for the GUI.

Go for the GTX470.

I have one and previously the 285 but the 470 is so much better.

Check out Dave at Macvidcards.com . Alot of redusers and Davinci users have gotten cards through him and hes a really cool guy.
