    Radeon HD cards seem to be hit and miss with MorphOS on PCIe-based PowerMac G5, as can be seen from that thread:

    - HD3450 works (see comments #33 and #172)
    - HD3650 works with minor issues (see comment #11)
    - HD4550 works (see comment below)
    - HD4650 works (see comment #172)
    - HD5450 works (see comment below)
    - HD5550 doesn't work (see there)
    - HD6450 doesn't work (see comments #122 and #172)
    - HD6570 doesn't work (see comment #127 and comment below)

    > What would be the best card options for PCIe and MorphOS?

    If best means fastest and you don't want to forgo 3D hardware acceleration, there're 3 options:

    - X1900GT with PPC ROM (rare, expensive)
    - X19xx flashed with X1900GT PPC ROM (big chance to misbehave or simply fail)
    - X19xx with AtomBIOS ROM (no access to OpenFirmware)


    Edit: added more graphics cards
