It depends on your use-case, i guess. If my intent would be using FreeBSD as my daily-driver "desktop/laptop-OS" i'd avoid NVIDIA like the plague, becaue without CUDA their unique selling point does not exist, but the hassle of some "switcheroo-black-magic" possibly persists. Which i wouldn't have with an intel-gpu, also less power draw. Even AMD is often supported in a better way, be it opensourced, or relying on their binary blob.

AMD binary blob? You mean that amdgpu-pro thing? That doesn't exist on FreeBSD.

Maybe not the latest and greatest "Pro", but otherwise?

edit: maybe should have added https://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/#index5h2 too
