we are upgrading 2 of our CAD systems one will be running AutoCAD 2012 and doing some 3D work as well as 2D and the other will be running Solidworks.

Does anyone have any opinions about either the

2.0GB ATI FirePro v7800 card and the 2.0GB nVidia Quadro 4000?

Thanks,

for Acad, you're overspending. no opinion about solidworks

Both cards are nice. I typically stick with nVidia as their WHQL drivers are more stable. But I agree, seems a bit of an overkill for AutoCAD.
