Hi,
are you sure you provided a correct link ? You linked to X5680, not E5-2670. And one which costs 2700 dollars :- O ( for total old garbage can )
X5680 is 30perc. weaker than 2670v1, it's previous generation before SandyBridge came out. And it's quite old by now. Still a solid performer.
It has 96GB because X5680 is Tripple-channel, as opposed to quad-channel of all following chipsets that came after it. 2670v1 can be with 128GB just fine, it needs 8x16 GB ECC modules.
Quadro cards DO NOT ( don't trust anyone who writes otherwise ) provide ANY benefit compared to 'same-architecture' GTX counterpart ( For example Quadro M6000 is Titan-X with x5 price difference ) for 3dsMax with nitrous viewport running on DirectX 11.
Quadro cards do have many benefits, but not for media CGI/DCC aps like use. They have ECC memory, dual-precision floating point calculation (actually, since it's the same card, this feature is in GTX too, just crippled ), 14bit LUT support (same story, GTX also "would" have it if it wasn't locked ), specialized OpenGl driver (more useful for developers, and specialized niche CAD suites like Siemens NXT or Catia ), and dev support from nVidia.
The above linked workstation has Quadro 6000 (don't confuse with newer K6000 and M6000, these are drastically different, different generation cards ), which was computational workhorse with lot of memory..... in 2010. It's 7 years old card with incredibly low performance compared to 100 euro GTX 750. So it's OK, but... nothing special.
Sorry about the meds. Hope the jobs are not too stressful.
