I'm looking for a card to handle some simple OpenGL stuff for a class
I'm taking. I have an ATI X300 card, but 3D acceleration is not
supported on it in the current Xorg. The only slots on my Mobo are PCI
and PCI-EX. I use the i386 release of FreeBSD currently, but would like
to have the option to move to the amd64 release. Any suggestions on a
low-end (read cheap) card? I know "nvidia" is often recommended, but
any particular model?
I myself ran into an issue with FreeBSD and nvidia where my PCI-Express
Geforce 6800GT only gave a fraction of the performance that I should have
been able to get. After asking about it on the nvidia forums at nvnews.net
I was told that there is an issue between the nvidia driver and FreeBSD
kernel that affect non-native PCI-Express cards, it was being worked on
but for now I am still suffering from it. More info:

Yeah, I've seen that problem mentioned in previous posts. How terrible
is the performance? I just need something that can get more than 1 fps
on simple ogl class projects.
Additionally, does anyone know the answer to the last question in the
thread pointed to above? "Exactly which nvidia cards are/are not
'native' PCI-Express?"
Thanks,
Micah
