Dunno about non-Apple, but a quick Google found these...

Non-Apple graphics cards might be more of a lottery though.

Re: 2008 Mac Pro 3.1

For graphics cards your best bet would probably be to flash the PC equivalent of Mac cards as the drivers are definitely available in the OS. For current desktop cards that tops put at the Radeon 5770 or 5870.

Highpoint sell mac specific RAID cards although it's usually worth waiting before applying system updates as they may break the card.
Not exactly a RAID card but IIRC 10.8 broke their 4 port USB3 card.
