Anyone think that it is possible?
Yes. They are the same chip (R870). Will it remain functional afterwards? Maybe, but probably not.
I wouldn't recommend even trying it. Told you not to go with the 5830. :P

Yeah right

With the exception of reference 6950s everything has been lazer cut since the NV40/R400 era.

False.
I will probably not do this.

Please enlighten me. AFAIK the last cards to unlock before the 6950 were the AGP 6800 GS and the x800 GTO.
Damn that's close. You got lucky.
