Hello, there was 4 models of the G5 2.0, and if really the dual core one it would use a PCIe Video card, but not any modern ones of late.
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac.
Then click on More Info>Hardware and report this upto *but not including the Serial#*...
Hardware Overview:
Machine Name: Power Mac G5 Quad
Machine Model: PowerMac11,2
If it reports PowerMac11,2, then it is PCIe, japamac has a great page here & hopefully will drop in later...
G5 PCIe options are listed here:

I don't know for sure, but I doubt it, you'd need to Flash it in a PC to Mac Roms, & it is likely not ROM but EFI/Intel only, as well, I think PPC Macs are limited to 512MB VRAM.
As japamac gas on his page, I think a Flashed 7800 GTX 512MB is the best G5 card available, similar to this one...
