HD5450 based on Cedar/RV810 is supported according to
http://www.morphos-team.net/hardware (also non-accelerated) and exists as
PCI card. Couldn‘t this work in a G5‘s PCI(-X) slot?
Interesting thought. I tried to find an PCI HD 5450 back around the time AmiWest 2017 was occuring without luck.
They made a few, but they are rare.
My guess is a 4670 AGP card would perform as well (if we see support for that).
And the R600 driver will have overlay support.
I'd still like to try an HD6750 like the card I lent Acil.
Although the 8490 also looks like a nice low profile option.
BTW - Hans de Ruiter has posted a screen shot of a Polaris based card running in a SAM460 system. So RX460/560 cards apparently work in a PCIe 1.1 slot. That could mean they are likely to run in the 11,2's 1.0 slots as well.
