Ya, I think you're right.. Doesnt have the shaders or something right? Pretty mean card if you're into 3d modelling, CAD etc.

lol chuck that puppy into a quad sli for 16gb of video ram :D

Would kick ass for folding tho, amirite?

From website:

The Quadro FX 5800 graphics card is ideally suited for oil and gas exploration, medical imaging, styling and design, and scientific visualization.

It's not so much that, but the drivers written for it are different and are geared more toward workstation type of stuff.

Pretty sure it would Fold just like a GTX 280. The work units for Folding are sized for consumer level video card memory levels, so the extra memory wouldn't really help.

Yup, it's all about the drivers. The hardware is going to be pretty much identical.
