NVIDIA GTX 1080i support how?

This is an older graphics card and I've got it in a Dell XPS 8930. Just did a fresh install of FreeBSD 15.1 and added the latest NVIDIA drivers. When the kernel module loads "this system is supported through legacy 580.xx drivers." But if you go to their web site there is a legacy driver 470.xx, the current driver, and a feature driver. If you try to build the 470.xx legacy driver it won't build "Doesn't support FREEBSD-Current", if you neuter that error in the include file it fails looking for DMAP_MIN_ADDRESS and DMAP_MAX_ADDRESS. SDDM reports "no displays detected" (because well the driver is ignoring my card :-)) Any thoughts on how I might move forward?

I suspect you checked out the wrong branch for the source tree. For 15.1-RELEASE you'll need the releng/15.1 branch. The main branch is -CURRENT.
