Quadro/Grid K series and GeForce 6xx and 7xx cards are Kepler based. Quadro x000 / GeForce 4xx/5xx series cards are Fermi, not Kepler based. Do you have suggestion on cheaper 6xx series to give a shot to mod? btw, I was looking at pricing.
6xx would then be the next choice since kepler has something that fermi does not. It seems the 4xx are easiest to do and cheap to source for those of us who can't solder.

I think it would be interesting to compare the features of the multi-os cards and their geforce partner! 2xx/3xx are software 4xx are software plus straps 5xx are hardware resistor plus straps 6xx are hardware resistor plus straps. And remember the old FX 3800,4800,5800 are multi-os. However it is opposite of how ESXi works (GRID or non-kepler). Do you think its possible to find a 2000 or 4000 compatible kepler geforce and actually splice the bios? Nvidia website mentions GRID but also says Kepler can do some of the functions as well. you mentioned you did up a card with a real bios. Seems we are having a sobering impact on their pricing strategy. Until recently the difference has been 5-8x. $1800 for a Grid K2 sounds downright cheap - only 3x the price of a GTX690. Personally, I'm working in the other direction - stripping UEFI crap from the 6xx BIOS so I can soft-mod it more easily, plus some other advantages such as having a BIOS smaller than 64KB, which makes it loadable for primary VGA passthrough in Xen for bootstrapping the GPU inside the VM (so you get boot console output on the external monitor, rather than in a VNC console). I would imagine somebody experienced in it could knock out a whole bunch of modified cards per hour (removing and refitting heatsinks would likely be the most time consuming part).

Worst case, you can get a genuine Quadro UEFI BIOS (from a Mac Quadro), find a GeForce card on which the important bits of the strap match (EEPROM type, clock generator type), and hard-mod it with resistor changes, and voila, you have a Mac Quadro for the price of a GeForce, a couple of 0402 resistors, and a few minutes or extreme precision work with soldering gear (easy with years of experience and decent equipment (solder removal braid, pro grade soldering kit with hot air, difficult otherwise). Depending on how the crypto stuff is implemented, I'm sure it is defeatable, though.
I suspect the Mac requirements, however, include having a UEFI BIOS, which is trickier since as soon as you modify the BIOS, the crypto signatures in the UEFI BIOS no longer match and the Mac will probably reject the hardware.
Modding a GTS450 into a Quadro 2000, GeForce 470 into a Quadro 5000 and GeForce 480 into a Quadro 6000 is pretty trivial, on the other hand. I'm surprised they are modding GeForce cards into Quadro 4000 cards - since there is no direct GeForce equivalent.
