Can I use a stock MAC video card (x1900) in my hack? Do I need to flash it?

I have this x1900 i just got. It's from a g5 tower.

 

It won't book in my hack. Blank screen.

 

I hear the roms are different.

 

There are INFINITE guides to flashing a pc card to a mac.

 

Would i need to do the opposite to get this x1900 gt working in my pc / hack?

i've tried almost every bios on this page so far.

 

All of them seem to flash, however there's garbage on the screen for all of them also.

I'm far from an expert on this, but I think that the cards from the PPC macs are different from the Intel ones. I know that you can use video cards from the MacPro in any PC (I have one running my Linux Media PC right now, previously ran OSX and WIN on it too), but I'm pretty sure that the G5 video cards are incompatible with x86 PCs.
