True, however, GeForce tends to get never chipsets faster than Quadros,
so these optimizations are often completely erased by the raw fillrate
of the newer GPU.

Apart from this it has also full genlock, not only buffer swap syncing.
Useful e.g. for driving a CAVE with active stereo from multiple cards
where the picture on all walls has to be in sync to prevent flicker and
artifacts. Also, it is the only nVidia HW that can meaningfully drive
shutter glasses (active stereo).
