Many people also need to take the fact that several 'generic' cards often have the Nvidia chip on them. So these drivers may not work in all situations, it is something we need to take into account. So far i've heard 2 good and 1 semi-negative. Perhaps sometime this week I'll throw an Nvidia card into a machine and intall 4.7 && the drivers. In the meantime, I'll most likely put a 'news flash' Nvidia releases FreeBSD drivers for their video chipsets/cards.
