This might be better suited for freebsd-hardware, but I thought I would start here. I have an older system I built myself that has a GeForce GT 450. This graphics card has served me well and through multiple FreeBSD upgrades. I had it connected to my two displays using DVI-to-HDMI cables and everything works great. But I am now transitioning to being a full-time telecommuter for work. My work supplied system has a docking box that connects using DisplayPort. My displays supported each, however, I have limited desktop real estate, so I was sent a modern KVM switch that, unfortunately, only supports DisplayPort. However the GT 450 does not support DisplayPort, so I am unable to currently use my FreeBSD system via graphics. However, I liked to use it via X11 because I make heavy use of Dia and other graphic tools to document my work. So before I jump into the wilds of the Nvidia forums and other groups, I thought I would ask here. I would like to hear any recommendations for the new Nvidia graphics from this list as I tend to find most of the recommendations useful. Thanks for listening, Patrick
