Can't say I've read or heard of that happening or being successful. You CAN however generally OC most decent 5850's to achieve stock 5870 performance. You could also buy a second used 5850 and run CF as well. But unlocking on those chips I doubt is going to happen, iirc they are laser cut for specific shader counts. Even if you successfully flash a 5870 bios on and it doesn't brick the card you'd end up with a card that just advertised 5850 specs with possibly 5870 speeds...which you could do all on your own with EVGA Precision X or MSI Afterburner or similar.
