Many years ago I used to run the Linux binary of RtCW on FreeBSD using the emulation layer. Worked like a charm and the FPS was even slightly higher.

Yep. I am using the nvidia driver on FreeBSD 12.

In terms of non-nvidia, a few years ago the port of the Intel driver was badly out of date and a recent laptop would be stuck on vesa. But that issue has been fixed as far as I can tell.
