    I am trying to decide what to do next with my system, I will soon have a GTX570M heatsink on the way.

    A) Buy a Quadro 3000M for a cheap price abroad and try it.
    B) Buy a Quadro 4000M locally for a much higher price on the understanding I can send it back if it does not work.
    C) Try and source a 570M from somewhere.

    Thoughts: 4000M if it works would outperform the 570M clock for clock but the 570M can be bios modded to a higher voltage and overclock further, 570 is also guaranteed to work....

    Not sure how bothered I can be to mod the heatsink, I would have to invest in the tools too.

    All you need to do is Dremel a lil bit off of the heat sink.. you will be able to do it.. and if u need a Dremel go to Menards or where ever and pick up a cheap Dremel to do the job will take u like 5seconds. then just return it after u use it if you want haha.. just be like you needed something bigger and tell them you want the cash back not a certificate.. Cheers!
