I once bought an nvidia because of it's FreeBSD support. After about 
three months I realized that they didn't really support FreeBSD all that 
well. The drivers were old, and frequently kept me from upgrading my 
kernel. I was also getting a lot of kernel panics.

I switched to ATI and have never looked back. The drivers are open 
source, and support the functionality I need. They don't support the 
latest HD5xxx cards, but that's okay because I'm perfectly happy running 
HD4xxx cards.
