Shall you be dual booting your computer, you may consider using a
virtual machine to exec OpenBSD, or even getting some 'el-cheapo' CPU to
install OpenBSD and use it through SSH/Xming from you current system, to
make full use of your terminal full resolution.

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!
