    Anyone know if it is possible yet to softmod the geforce to quadro yet? The geforce 8800mgts and 9800mgts resemble the Nvidia quadro fx 3600m. Just wondering if anyone has figured that out yet or heard of it happening. Thanks

    I would try nVidias forums for that question, you would probably get a better answer.

    But isnt it just a matter of finding which quatro card uses the same architecture and then installing the correct drivers?

    you do know that the 8800 set records for openGL rendering right? workstation cards are a complete waste. you can get the same results using nhancer
