> The current video bios’s have x86 assembly in them making them not compatible. Work would need to be done here first. Historically, GPU’s released for Mac’s have had their own bios anyway (EFI support). I’m not sure this is accurate. I’ve definitely popped an nvidia card into a sparc box and had it work. And IBM supports nvidia GPUs in their power systems. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/data-center-gpus/te... |

Is somewhat right.
But it's only needed for certain modes and initialization and:
1. Potentially can be sidestepped (depending on GPU bios)
2. The respective code can be interpreted, transpilled or otherwise "made to execute on non-x86 computers".
Sadly I wasn't able to find the details on the fly, and I'm not sure if it's something which was done by your OS or BIOS/UEFI.
