What game to buy to show of the "Graphikal Powa!" of my new G5?!

Unreal Tournament 2003 is the best game for you to show the Gfx capabilities. I would recommend X-Plane too, which plays extremely nicely on my Dual G5. 
Both, kick ass!
Both, kick ass! If your intention is to showoff to your PC buddies with games on the G5, you will be sorely disappointed. The video drivers for the PC world for the same video cards are much better/optimized. Add to that the availablity of higher-end versions of the same cards, and on a graphics' level it's not a competition point.
However, if you are doing this just to see better graphics on your system, UT2K3 is as good as any program to show some nice l&t and pixel shaders.

Nascar 2003 run a full field at the coca cola 600 and turn everything on! or UT2K3,Medal of honor,RTCW
Aliens Vs Predator 2
Aliens Vs Predator 2 would challenge your system. On a dual 800 MHz G4 PowerMac I have to run it at the lowest resolution with the lowest quality textures but on a dual G5 it should be playable the way it was meant to be played.

That's if it isn't delayed like Halo always seems to be. I haven't played Alien v. Predator 2 yet, but Unreal 2k3 is pretty good for showing all out power with everything turned on.
