Greetings all,
after having success with installing FreeBSD with X11 on laptop, I am now contemplating a workstation build. Since I tend to use server-orientated motherboard with non-existent or low performing video chips, I have been looking at video cards. From my research, NVIDIA appears to be currently the best supported one, thugh I wonder about commitment by NVIDA for such a small market.
Thus, I was wondering is a video card by any other chip manufacturer would not be a better future proof investment. I do not play or plan to play games, but do watch high-resolution, high data rate trans-coded movies.
Any advice in this regards, including a specific card recommendation would be appreciated.
Kindest regards,
M
