The problem is that NVidia hasn't updated its binary-only FreeBSD
driver since July 1st, 2003.  Any cards released after this date will
not work properly, or at all, with this driver.  So please go bug
NVidia. :)

But, see also this thread:

which might explain why it takes forever for new drivers to arrive. :(
