I don't know about linux/verses FreeBSD, but I can tell you about
hardware support.  I am not sure about nvidia stuff(core models), but I
can tell you new cards tend not to have support, then bad support at
first.  This may not be the case with the nvidia drivers.  If that card
is new enough glxgears was running partially or all on the cpu not
graphics hardware.
