nVidia drivers == better on 32-bit so I hear, so I would assume that's a fair reason to go with i386 instead of amd64 -> not that I bother with X that much lol.
Others here would know better about the drivers performance.

lol they only work on 32bit. theres a great thread about this crap on nVnews. |
The reason there is no FreeBSD 64 bit driver is because of the shortcomings of the FreeBSD kernel, not because of nvidia.
