What is the performance differences between a Consumer gaming video card and a new Workstation video card?

Alot of graphics companies will use "workstation" grade cards. However, for gaming you usually buy an expensive video card. The workstation cards are usually more expensive. What are the main differences???|||I used to know the exact answer to this question.... not so much now. BUT I can say this, workstation video cards are designed to do very particular tasks. Like rendering 3d images that take hours at a time. I beleive they utilize more pipelines and less core clock speeds. Either way, if you want something for video gaming, you want a high end gaming video card made by ATI/AMD or Nvidia. If you intend to do a lot of both then in still recommend the gaming card, is it is much more of an all purpose unit.|||think mac vs pc differences, the mac people who do video rendering choose, yet for fast gaming and compatibility you choose the pc platforms. If you think of the main (and possibly the only) differences in Raedeon and Gforce is software. The Raedeons utilize DirectX well, YET Gforces like OpenGL.

Go take a look at a mac game or something similar and then goto STO on pc or something to that effect & you'll get your answer personally.
