No The product is GPU passthrough on a specific 2013 Mac Pro with VBIOS and firmware discovery on Proxmox. It depends on low-level hardware and virtualization expertise and on specific hardware to test against.
What it would actually take: A real version requires understanding PCIe passthrough, the VFIO/QEMU stack, and how the Mac's EFI and FirePro VBIOS expose the GPU (including the VFCT table). It must be tested on the physical hardware, with kernel-level and firmware debugging skills.
