I ran across this video with using different PCIe video cards for linux on the G5.
Some of the data may translate to value somewhere for MorphOS, so here you go:
G5 PCIe Video CardsIn this video he tested gfx cards with linux.
PPC BE Linux has limitation to use Radeon cards only upto Northern Island family ( ~ HD6xxx ). Southern Islands ( ~ HD 7xxx ) and newer has no hw accel support, works only framebuffer, so they are unusable.
It is no surprise that RX 560 + GTX 950 not works, only the HD6870.
Cards not supported by Powermac OF boots "blindly" to linux. Most powerfull for
linux is probably Radeon
HD 6970 with Cayman chipset.
So, if you want to use
linux+MorphOS, the best choice is Radeon
HD 6870 with Barts chipset.
And if you need see OpenFirmware screen, you have to add some Powermac compatilble non-radeon card - like 1-slot Nvidia GeForce 6600.
