OpenBSD still has no support for hardware accelerated OpenGL. There are
some people who pretend to work^Wslack on porting X.Org's DRI, so don't
expect results soon.

But even if this effort produces something one day, nVidia cards won't
be supported. The only way to get accelerated 3D on those cards on any
unix-like system is by using their proprietary binary blob driver which
is a no-go on OpenBSD.

Unfortunatly there are very few alternatives, as most vendors are
following nVidia's path there. See
<http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Status> for a list of supported
hardware (but again not yet on OpenBSD).
