I have tried to search for this, so please don't flame if this is a repeat.

I am looking for a cheap escape into a pro graphics card... the softmod. Now there is a very popular article that shows a softmod of an 8600gt into a quadro 1700? (something to that effect anyway); however, i have bumped into a few articles that say that softmods are not possible after the early 6000 series... so who is right?

i have no brand loyalty... would a better off with an ati product; they seem to be a mod-able as the Nvidia; would an ATI card be a more reliable prospect for a soft mod? are there any manuf. cards that seem to do this better?

Thanks for any help.
