Softmod GTX to Quadra via Clover running MacOs Sierra?

OK, I am bumping this very old thread... shame on me..
BUT

I was wondering if it is possible to do a softmod via clover SSDT or stuff?
so my plan was to softmod an old gtx680 into a quadra k5000 to get my fingers on the CUDA cores without modding apps nor having to do a hardmod, changing the resistors...
the gtx680 and the k5000 are nearly the same!

You can load a modified VBIOS in Clover, but I guess you'll still need to change the resistors to make it work.

I don't understand your motivation though, K5000 and GTX 680 should have virtually the same compute performance. Only difference are the professional level OpenGL drivers for CAD applications in Windows, but they don't exist in OS X anyway.
