AMD released specifications which were used to develop some code although this is basically a wrapper around a proprietary component. This is not acceptable behavior here and can be viewed as more or less a public relations stunt than something helpful to the free software community.

Intel is the only major company supporting an acceptable free software driver which supports 3d acceleration.

I will mention that there is a reverse engineered driver entirely created by a third party project which supports older NVIDIA chipsets. This might be OK to use too although many/most here would not recommend purchasing such a card. The reason being is that reverse engineering unnecessary when companies cooperate and is a a significant amount of work. Why should free software users support a company hostile to them?

That said we do stock one such desktop card @ libre.thinkpenguin.com.
