That is up to your video card and the supplied drivers, not FreeBSD. What video card?

Sorry for the late reply, I am using a Mac with Intel iris, I have a retina display, that's why I asked this question.
I could not find any driver for BSD on Intel, only Ubuntu and Fedora, which is quite disappointing since I use Debian more often.
 
Because Apple has deep pockets and can afford to pay Intel a huge wad of cash to write a driver for them. FreeBSD doesn't have that luxury.

NB. There's very little BSD in today's OS-X. It may have started with (bits of) BSD attached but you can be sure most of it has been rewritten now.

Most of the open source components in OS X got rewritten by proprietary components because the open source ones just didn't cut it quality wise and relying on unreliable open source upstream has become a big no no in today's OS business. A good example is SAMBA and the related tools that were complete crap in OS X until Apple rewrote them.
