I should be out of the office, but will test asap.
For the quadro, well it was bundled with the workstation (HP Z620). It's
no problem if the quadro is more expensive and produce better
performance. It becomes a problem if they are really bellow game cards.
Your gtx has more than 400 cores while the 4000 has 256... They are
supposed to be stronger when working though...

The last one is what i currently have. as you can see, the quadro's
memory bandwith, cuda cores and memory interface are below the gtx.
But you have bigger vram which means you can cram more into the scenes.
Speed wise, given the differences it might be slower at the actual
rendering, but we're talking gpu rendering here so i'm not sure if
it's going to be that much noticeable.
Do a render with both scenes and post your times in the forum. Then
we'll know better how hardware affects the performance.
To be honest, i always found quadros to be extremely overpriced, but
maybe that's just me.
