Geforce 6800 Ultra PCI-E @ Quadro for CAD/3D (Maya, ZBrush, Revit)

Hello there,
I'm about to upgrade my machine and just read in one of the other threads that a softmodded 6800 Ultra is faster than a 8800 in OGL. This would be perfect, as I'm student who's on a budget and I need good performance in Maya and apps like ZBrush.
I read that a modded 6800 Ultra PCI-E would still be recognized by the system as a Geforce, but that the driver can be cheatet on. The most important question for me is now if I can expect any compatibility issues with the software I'm using. Are there any problems I should be aware of?

Thanks for your help!

Realview won't work in Solidworks and Autodesk 2007 programs may have a problem. I haven't experienced those first hand as I have an AGP 6800GT.
