Can I turn my 6970 into a FirePro card?

I just got my new desktop and I put a 6970 in there.
I don't really enjoy gaming as much as I used to though so I was wondering if I could try turning my card into a workstation one.
I do some rendering and I'm working on a game engine.
I heard it was possible with a 680 and some older cards so I just thought I'd ask, thank you for your time.

Also I use Debian so directx compatibility won't be a problem for me.
