While that functionality should work with the FreeBSD nvidia driver I'm
going to recommend that you hold off on those cards until NVIDIA makes a
statement one way or the other regarding official support.

They seem to have stepped up development of a supported FreeBSD driver but
are telling me a whole lot less about whats going on, which I am uneasy
about.

If you need a solution now then look elsewhere; I'm not willing to tell
people that NVIDIA support is just around the corner anymore.
