I didn't find a working HowTo or Guide for this, so I made one, may it serve you well dear reader.
Starting point:
You have a pc with a 750ti running FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE. You are now logged in as "root".
Objective:
Getting the 750ti to work properly with the proprietary nvidia-driver. Install KDE5. Boot automatically into the GUI.
Do this:
add linux_enable=„YES“
add nvidia-modeset_load="YES"
And that's it. After boot you should be right in the GUI login screen.
Afterthoughts:
The GPU works well and stable. nvidia-settings is a nice, good looking tool to take a closer look at your GPU in the GUI.

Thanks to all the incredible FreeBSD developers for making this beautiful OS possible.
