This is almost not possible because ATI doesn't provide a driver for 
FreeBSD and the driver that comes with X.org supports only models up to 
Radeon 9000 concerning 3D capabilities; you'll find more information 
about supported cards in the "radeon" manpage of the xorg-server 
package. There is an open source project that aims 3D support for more 
recent cards:
