Maybe look into going for the 6800 Ultra if you have the money...
using RivaTuner you can softmod it into a Quadro4400

I would look into that first though and make sure NVidia hasn't put any new security measures to prevent the softmod
last I heard, people can still get past it

So read around and see if it's still possible because it's definately worth it
