I am one of those ppl that needs a stong GPU, so the fact i missed the boat in August with the Rev1 MP gives me a reason to wait on a GPU update.
A lot of 3d ppl buy high-end gamer cards. You generally get 80% the performance of a quadro for 1/3 the price. Meaning i could buy an 1900xt (80% as good) and a 8800 (120% better) down the line and have more performance then if i got the quadro up front.. for less cash. Plus the odd 3d app is actually slower with the quadro line (but i think thats been fixed recently in the app i'm thinking of)
I also don't recall Apple ever updating the GPU options without totally updating the system lineup. Modo had kernal panics with the 1900, mudbox (via bootcamp) was slower with a Quadro, Zbrush2 dosent care about your GPU, Lightwave you saw very little performace gain until very recently.
