Hold on for some expert advice, but no, you cannot use just any Graphics card, in fact the selection is rather narrow, & they are all no longer made.
Is your G5 an AGP graphics machine or is it a PCIe graphics machine?
If AGP, your choices are listed on my page here:
4B4B7BA2-7ABB-47F1-87AC-B03D37942BEE.html
If PCIe graphics (Late 2005 G5 only) the choices are listed here:
71BBF3EF-9713-4C53-8B80-26771F8A4087.html
These two lists contain all your choices, so don't ask about Radeon HD 4650 or other cards.....
eBay is the best source for a replacement card or upgrade.
Any card that you might purchase MUST BE stated as Mac compatible in the description.
Standard PC cards will NOT work.
Yes, some may be modified, but that is advanced......
