Its working on linux trough bumblebee 3.0 and virtualgl with some fake xserver and its blazing fast! I can run the Unigine Heaven and tropics benchmarks in opengl with tesselation faster then on directx11 on windows. Thing is i would love to be able to switch from xbuntu to FreeBsd + xfce but i hate having hardware thats not doing what its supposed to inside my computer? SLI is another issue, getting multiple gpu´s to work together Nvidia has been much better with their driver suppport then ATI but 3d gaming is ofc not big on unix unless OSX gains some ground Anyway i would love to see someone port bumblebee 3.0 ( or the fork ironhide) to the BSD platform and get it running with opengl 4 on BSD fullspeed!!!
