Are there any significant differences between a Quadro 2000 and a 4000?

I've recently built a workstation for 3D work. The video cards is a Quadro 600, however the 3D views lag a bit on Maya and Mudbox sometimes doesn't refresh and locks it's view until I move the window around. I have tried a Geforce 9600 and the view much better (it's own problems though), but I want to use a workstation card.

Is there much difference between the Quadro 2000 and the 4000 cards in terms of modelling and texturing? I don't need fluid dynamics or a frame rate of over 50 fps, but I would like reliable card which gives a smoother 3D view and refreshes the view properly.
 
The 2000 is going to be the one you want. It actually has a higher texture rate than the 4000.


Whats the rest of your setup like? You sure the CPU isn't holding you back?

Yeah thats kinda what I was thinking, that you just upgraded the video card but still had the athlon x2.

So the 2000 should definitely be a huge upgrade. :)
