Re: [Trisquel-users] Which Video Card is the best choice today?
I think the best one is the one sold by Think Penguin: http://libre.thinkpenguin.com

Try GeForce 6xx series with mesa 12.xx.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Which Video Card is the best choice today?
For gaming, intel HD 3000-4000, and all before skylake. Or Nvidia kepler cards, with latest kernel and reclock, probably one Kepler card it is better choise. Personally I han gtx650, and now I have gtx770 4gb and gt740, all working fine, like with blob.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Which Video Card is the best choice today?
If by "gaming" you mean modern proprietary games, sure. But if you're talking about libre games, I can't think of any that should have a problem with it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Which Video Card is the best choice today?
I never tested 9xxx or 8xxx series on GNU and Nouveau. I think the same, these GPUs are slow. If you want to buy gt740, buy only with gddr5, I have Gigabyte one with 2gb of dggr5. Do not buy "ti" versions, are different, not Kepler. gtx750-gtx760-gtx770 must run fine too (not Ti). Every Kepler you can run with GNU system you want, but install jxself's kernel, latest kernel is important. Previously I played Counter-Strike GO with my gtx770, Mint and Nouveau. I still have gtx770, but I suing gt740, enough power for me, and no need for powerful PSU or extra wires for that GPU, less TDP and less heat, +it is smaller, easy for repair, change thermal paste, fan and heatsink/cooler. Don't forget that before run any 3d game, you must to write reclock command into terminal, and after game play, reclock to the low pstate. So, it doens't clock and downclock automatically.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Which Video Card is the best choice today?
Yes, but it is hard to find sometimes, with kernel previous to 4.4 you must to add patches and compile nouveau.ko with headers, and after that booy with nouveau.pstate=1. But since kernel 4.4 you can reclock only with nouveau.pstate=1. Newer kernels no more need for nouveau.pstate=1. Everything work out of the box. After newer kernel isntalled, just "su" or "sudo su", and reclock gpu with command.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Which Video Card is the best choice today?
I think Libreboot wouldn't work with Nouveau because Nvidia cards have proprietary vbios.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Which Video Card is the best choice today?
Ask on #libreboot Freenode IRC. Try the webchat interface.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Which Video Card is the best choice today?
As I said: "If you Librebooted your computer, probably you would not be able to see GRUB." I have your board, and some Nvidias GPU, but at the moment, I have no time to test that board with Libreboot, and external GPU. But forget to see the GRUB and payload at boot. I don't know if it will work in GNU.

How does the Iris 6200 work?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Which Video Card is the best choice today?
I never tryed an Iris (but I always wanted one laptop with i7-i5 and Iris GPU (pre-skylake)), if it is not Skylake Iris, it must to work very very good. Skylake needs blobs to work properly, and I think that Skylake it is less powerful that previous generation. Iris gpu it is a very very good option (pre-Skylake), but don't expect that Iris GPU would work like gtx770 with blobs.
