Recommmend me a gpu please for a proffesional workstation capable of driving a 4k res.

Doesnt have to be a Quadro if the Geforce cards will do the job.

Will need it for photoshop work etc...

Thanks

Why are the Quadro's sooo expensive?

Pretty much anything with a proper display port 1.2 output will drive a 4K panel at 60Hz for non-gaming stuff fine. (Unless your only going for a 30Hz panel and/or using a MST panel that takes 2x HDMI connections - also only 30Hz).
 
I might be wrong, but the quadro and firepro cards are so pricey because of the support and quality of components? Maybe the compute performance, too?
 
If you dont know if you need a quadro, then chances are you dont, a more complete list of applications you need it for would be helpful, but for Photoshop and things of that ilk a GeForce will be fine
 
AMD are offering massive rebates on FirePros at the moment. Unless you specifically want CUDA (unnecessary for Photoshop), you'd save a hell of a lot of money by not going for Quadros.
