I have just set up my Power Mac G5 Quad with 3x 2560x1440 displays, they are set up horizontally, I have 3x graphics cards running the 3 displays, the 2 side displays are set up using PBP using 2 inputs on each (4 DVI in total), the centre display is set up as a standard display using DVI but looks fuzzy at 60Hz using the full 2560x1440 resolution.

Is there an app like RDM (Retina Display Menu) for PPC? Or a workaround that you know of?

It was working at 30Hz and not blurry before I plugged in the 2 side displays... Now there is no option for 30Hz only 60Hz.

My config is OSX 10.5 (Fully updated)
NVIDIA GeForce 6600
1. Driving left display using PDB with 2 xDVI
2. Driving centre display with 1x DVI
3. Driving right display using PDB with 2x DVI

I am using correct cables.

Try SwitchResX
 
That didn't work but I tried a different lead DVI to HDMI rather than DVI to DVI (Dual Link) and that worked, I now have the option for 30Hz, strange it's made the cursor move really fast at 30Hz and on the 60hz monitors they are moving slower/normal speed.

I can be having that, I will set up all 3 monitors with using PBP that way I can have them all at 60Hz, 1280x1440 60Hz.
