The only thing to be wary of is that not all PC cards are flashable. Some have an eprom that is written once, others will stuff up totally as there is not enough "memory" in eprom to take Mac bios (its larger than for PC) and others simply won't flash. Before you do it do some research and find out what cards work and what don't. www.xlr8yourmac.com has a large database on this sort of stuff. Similarly be careful using flashed cards in legacy macs as some are not recognised due to PCI standard of legacy macs - seems more of an issue with nVidia cards though. Another 'benefit' of PC card is you invariably end up with 64 MB graphics RAM rather than 32 on Mac edition. How ever mac edition is DVI, VGA and also TV out
I can say that the retail ATI Radeon 7000 PC version is flashable, as that's what I used. I bought it at CompUSA for $45. It was only 32 megs DDR RAM, not 64.
