Whoa, openbsd has 3d hardware drivers? Only open source i guess, no official drivers?

Yes, the upcoming OpenBSD 8.0 release will have inteldrm/radeondrm/amdgpu drivers from Linux 6.18.y/6.18.53.

The open source drivers are the official ones for Intel and AMD.

They port the open source Linux drivers. FreeBSD does this too. Maybe others.

Over time there can be periodic drift and out of date drivers until they re-sync, but it usually works pretty well.

OpenBSD has had hardware-accelerated 2D and OpenGL since, well, forever-ish. Just not for modern Nvidia GPUs.
