In fact for the first time Nvidia has produced two different chips for the pro and the game lines.
The SoftQuadro4 trick will be fine for common hardware features on the two GPU but will not for specific Quadro stuffs.
Under Max the SoftQuadro cards seems to match all the Quadro's perfs(through MAX extreme) since no specific tasks are required(AA as an example).
Under Maya i'm not sure the SoftQuadros could use Hardware Overlay planes and other stuffs so the wiewport acceleration use only the basic Geforce4's OpenGl .
The emulation is not perfect since the chips are not similar maybe it's the reason why U got poor bench results
