I read it and was getting ready to modify my Nvidia card and then realized I have an GTX460 which is looks to be GF110 but not exactly full-fledge (one of the SMs is dead) so probably nothing can be done about it. From what I can see there are several variants of the GTX460, some with the GF104 GPU, others with the GF114 GPU. There is no Quadro based on the GF114, but there are two mobile Quadro variants based on it: Q3000M and Q4000M. The GTX460 variants have the following device IDs: GeForce GTX 460 0x0E22 GeForce GTX 460 SE 0x0E23 GeForce GTX 460 0x0E24 The corresponding Quadros have IDs: Quadro 3000M 0x0E3A Quadro 4000M 0x0E3B So you _should_ be able to modify your card into one of those, since the adjustment range is within the bottom 5 bits of the device ID and the GPU itself is the same. Q4000M looks like a closer match. I'd say it's certainly worth a try. :) I don't recall that virtualization is technically supported on the mobile series GPUs, but it might work just fine. Please report back whether it works if you try it, and perhaps add the model to the successfully tested passthrough GPUs on the wiki page. :) Hopefully this will help those on a non-Quadro level budget who want to use GPU passthrough that works properly.Time to find one of those cards at the MIT flea or hit eBay! I'd still have a go at modding your existing card first, if for no other reason then because I don't think anyone has tried that particular model before.
