Wrong.  No hardware manufacturer in their right mind would build a 
Mac-only PCI graphics board, with the possible exception of Apple.  
They're going to build a generic graphics board that works in a PC and 
by the way also works in a Mac.  Such a board will have a video BIOS.

I suppose you might find a board with a Mac-only SKU that does not stuff 
the BIOS chip.
