8800GT with the nvidia-driver from ports.
nv also works but the resolution can't be pushed to the limit and nv doesn't support 3D.
Do you have a amd64 FreeBSD or the 32bit one?
I can't use the nvidia-driver with more than 3Gb RAM that's the only problem i noticed.
And of course the nvidia-driver is a blob.

Just select "nv" as driver if you want to run X. To get higher resolution you have to use the nvidia blob "nvidia-driver".
e.g. #portinstall nvidia-driver
and then change the drivers name in xorg.conf to "nvidia"
