That hardware isn't aimed at gamers - it's aimed a video editors who need a great deal of processing power, RAM, and hard drive space to edit high-resolution videos. When you're rendering, general CPU power is pretty important - a card like the Quadro is nice for that and driving ultra-high res displays as well.
These kind of machines won't have Crysis on them, and they shouldn't - it's just not what the task for which the machine is speced.

As for why the GPU is different - remember that movies (Hollywood) does 3D a bit differently than games. DirectX shader language rendering on the fly isn't the concern - using lots of processing power to "brute force" true supersampling based anti-aliasing, calculate frames of animation, apply changes across thousands of frames of animation, et cetera - that all is. Hence aiming for RAM, processing power, and hard drive capacity
