> Resistor hack turns a Nvidia GTX690 into a Quadro K5000 or Tesla K10
No it doesn't. This was discussed earlier in the thread you link to. This hack triggers a bug in the display driver, which allows you to work around a silly limitation in the Linux driver.
You can do the same with a software hack in the kernel that spoofs the PCI vendor:device identifiers. And the driver bug is probably fixed so it won't work any more. Hopefully the silly monitor count limitation (not present on Windows drivers with same GPU) is lifted as well so this hack isn't needed any more.
This resistor hack does not change the GPU clocks or enable units that have been fused off. It does not turn a gaming gpu into a pro gpu.
