- A new unified architecture, first introduced with the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600 and 5600 solutions, dynamically allocates compute, geometry, shading and pixel processing power to deliver optimized GPU performance
- GPU computing for visualization combines hardware computing features with NVIDIA CUDA technology to solve complex, data-intensive challenges
- Next-generation vertex and pixel programmability with Shader Model 4.0 enables a higher level of performance and ultra realistic effects for OpenGL and DirectX 10 applications
- Massive, 3 GB frame buffer (1.5 GB frame buffer per GPU) delivers high capacity for interactive visualization of large models and real-time processing of large textures and frames with the highest quality and full-screen antialiasing
- Accelerated 3D texture performance for more interactive visualization of large volumetric datasets
- Frame Synchronization allows display channels from multiple workstations to be combined into one large "virtual display"

Profession wise?
I can only think of people doing massively high resolution 3D Rendering environments...and even then i dont understand why...
It's a bit prohibitively priced for lowly hobbyists, though.
