I think you've just made the server impervious to the notorious internet_kiss_of_death !!
Just look at the number of "Most online today" and "'Most online ever" at the bottom of this forum front page , they are equal.
gnif: congrats on modifying the card, but do you think you can make both GPU cores K5000 too?
I am interested in this in Windows, would be great if you or somebody else would successfully modify the GTX 680 card
In the past I was always changing Geforce to Quadro - until last generation when it was possible with "softquadro" technique using RivaTuner (forum.guru3d.com), because of performance in AutoCAD/3DS Max, nowadays the performance in these applications is almost equal for both the geforce and quadro models, but additional features available in the driver for Quadro models are always very interesting...
Looking forward to seeing some development in this topic
Cheers!
Unfortunately at the moment I am not able to donate the card
But I can donate up to $50, maybe you could collect the money, we just need other 19 people willing to donate $50...
Or for starters - a GTX 680 for about half the price - only 9 people...
OK, let me know Paypal is no problem for me...
Neo_Moucha: Donate: done!
This promises to be very interesting. I'm gonna get me some popcorn.
Gnif, anything you do will help move us toward better open source Linux drivers and farther away from the closed source binary blobs.
I think what you discovered is the exact reason why those bastards won't release anything in the open.
Possibly, I have been thinking on how they could prevent this in the future and there is some methods they could use, but I will not mention them here simply because I do not want to feed them information . Needless to say though, if they use them, then the next generation of cards will be impossible to mod without resorting to hacking the binary drivers, which without a doubt encroaches on leagallity issues.

Same as jailbreking a phone I guess...
Anyway, they could have played nicely with Linux from the beginning, but no....
Have you looked at the front of the PCB?
The same 8-pin soic that is under the resistors you changed is on the lower-right of the other GPU and surrounded by a few resistors and unpopulated spots. It looks pretty promising to me.
Do you see the straps here, anywhere?

I wonder what a GTX580 can become (if anything useful)

Nothing stands out, they may be on the front of the card.

Oh, by the way, hats off for your findings so far!
Yeah, I hate big companies that think that all Linux users are no money burnouts that like to hack things. One day they are going to realise that Linux is attracting all the professional programmers and engineers, and is very fast pulling general users away from windows and mac, especially with the recent move by Steam to release for Linux now due to the crappy APIs in Windows 8.
