Looking over the best GPU options and I came across BareFeats with a modded AGP GeForce 6600 and there's little info. I was under the impression (probably falsely) this GPU only existed as a PCIe version for Macs.
Sadly the link in the article doesn't work, nor does waybackmachine as it was a forum that required a login to view.
I assume two things are at play:

Thanks to a member of the 'experimental graphics card' forum on StrangeDogs.com, we had a chance to test drive a GeForce 6600 GT (AGP) graphics card that had been modified to work on a G4 Power Mac with a 4X AGP slot. We used a G4/1.42MP Power Mac 'FW800' -- the last and best of that 'breed' -- to compare the GeForce 6600 GT to OEM and retail cards available for that model in the past and the present.

I assume two things are at play:
- Need to use the NVFlash.exe on a PC to flash it with Mac Firmware
- Need to perform 8x AGP mod of taping the pins for it to work.
