One thing that is a plus with nv is that X has some support for it,

Does anyone know if there are *any* contemporary graphics cards
that have 3D acceleration supported by some flavour of
open-source x.org? Doesn't have to be a super-fast 'leet gamer
system to be better than a non-accelerated frame buffer.
Matrox used to have a reputation for goodness (I used to have a
G400 or the like), but it's been a long time...
(I'm currently using a lowish-end NVidia card under the x.org nv
driver, but it has issues (of which no 3D accel is but one...)

Crud.. should have known that ATI would close the majority of their
source / specs once AMD bought them up. The funny thing is that in
the past ATI was very open-source friendly I heard, and better than
nVidia. That may soon change now.
Having owned 2 nVidia cards and using them with unix though, I don't
see why people are having such a hard time getting the proprietary
drivers running. Then again I don't use their bleeding edge cards, so
I can't say how well those are supported under freebsd with their
drivers.
