Hello, I want to buy a new video card, and I'm considering ATI Radeon HD 4870.
On UNIX (OpenBSD that is), I need the card to: * be capable of 1920x1...@60hz resolution on DVI-D * have 2D acceleration (including X-Video) 3D acceleration would be nice but is not required. I dual-boot for games, so buying something older won't do, I need fairly modern and powerful hardware. My motherboard (ASUS M3N78-EM) has a GeForce 8300 chipset (not supported by "open source"/magic-number nv driver, and I couldn't force vesa driver to 1920x1080), I'm intending to run OpenBSD/amd64. So, will 4870 work okay in OBSD? If not, could you please suggest something that would meet the two above-mentioned criteria and be powerful enough for gaming? Thanks! -- Sviatoslav Chagaev <[email protected]>
