What about HD5770 or HD5870 cards ? There is still no answer here
I did it on the 5770. You need to add a resistor to R3 (right by the CrossFire connectors). I retrieved a resistor from my old 7300 GT card and it worked great.

I've got a flashed HD7950 running at 2.5GT/s in a Mac Pro 2006.
Is there any point to me doing this mod, considering the old Mac pro only has PCIE 1.0?
But if you're on a Mac Pro 3,1 there's no point removing r17 as it can only deal with 2.5 pci
El Wrongo !
In fact, it has PCIE 2.0
Better luck next time.
And as I discovered at Netkas having a look at his roms, the guy got super lucky, it is a pre-production Mac 7950 with an earlier version of Mac 7950 EFI. (or a moron messed it up)
I bought a "monica" card once and it had early Mac EFI, now he has too.
goMac once accused me of getting secret pre-production cards from Nvidia. The fact is, observant people will find these Mac development cards all the time. Frequently sold from people in Nor Cal, but also other places.
Did you ever remove it? I have a similar card and thought I'd check to see how your fared before reaching for a tool to pry it off.Wow. That's quick. It certainly looks like you are right. Now I have to find the guts to remove it...
