It seems to me that an AGP card might be a better option. The C8000
manual indicates that
it has one AGP 8X Pro 110W 32-bit slot. It looks from connector pinout
in the Technical Reference
Guide that the C8000 has a AGP 1.5V motherboard (pins 9, 16, 25 and 28
are VCC 1.5).
The HP "supported" FireGL cards are 1.5V, 0.8V:

So, I think one needs to look for a 1.5V or Universal AGP card. The
first ATI AGP card to
support 1.%V appears to be RAGE 128 PRO.
These articles give info about AGP slots and what works electrically:
