Serious question: what outside of legacy (i.e. almost all of it) Windows CAD software uses or benefits from FirePro cards and the like? I spoke with a dev of a CAD suite I actually use, one of the few that doesn't have a requirement to use one of these cards, and asked about this. The reply was preceded by a snort of disdain: "no we use any DirectX compatible GPU. Get a good gaming card, it's cheaper and better."
My impression, right or wrong, is that this segment of the graphics card market mostly serves expensive legacy (and almost entirely Windows) enterprise graphics packages that don't want to migrate to more modern graphics APIs and cards.
