Nvidia PR [1] has stated that it's a bios level feature. And their bioses require signatures. [1] https://twitter.com/bdelrizzo/status/1362619264423747590?s=20

  I remember years ago (we're talking 20 years), it was possible to circumvent chip level batching between Nvidia Geforce and Quadro. Geforce was the consumer range, and Quadro was used for workstation graphics. They both used the same chip .. but a resistor on the board gave the driver an indication of which range the card belonged to.

    They have gotten somewhat better at chip security since then. I remember AMDs Phenom tri-core CPUs being unlockable to quad-core 12 years ago, but nothing really since.
