I read somewhere that they where optimised for all that workstation cad design malarky and the geforce are optimised for pleasure

I think explaining it with a networking example would work.
Normal graphics cards (GTX) Are "UDP" optimized. (UDP is a networking protocol for file transfer without using any verification that the file has gotten to the destination.)
Workstation graphics cards (Tesla) Are "TCP" optimized. (TCP is another networking protocol closely related to UDP, but requests a verification from the destination if it has received the file, if it did not receive it then it resends the file.)
That is just how I look at it because the shaders and such used in the modeling programs are much more precise and realistic.

simply put
CUDA cores are app dependant (modelling programs, real-time scientific simulations, etc). they handle the complex-math inputs very well, but output at very low FPSs.
other GPUs (amd/gtx) are designed to parse shader code more fluidly, at higher framerates.
so if you are a 3d modeller, and do not play games, then telsa is the expensive route to take.
if you are a pure gamer, and the heaviest number-crunching software you use is photoshop or maya, then get a gtx580
