Do you want CUDA 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, 2.1 compatible? I have a 9800GT
(pretty cheap now-a-days + it runs modern games), which has the lowest CUDA
1.0.

Also, I am interested in how you will do the work. Currently, it's necessary
to run the CUDA SDK and Toolkit under Linux emulation or chroot, despite the
fact that the NVIDIA drivers for FreeBSD include CUDA support. According to
this,
http://blogs.freebsdish.org/jhb/2010/07/20/using-cuda-with-the-native-freebsdamd64-nvidia-driver/,
you still need to compile the CUDA apps under Linux, where the SDK is. Only
after that you can run the binaries on FreeBSD.
