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.

Correct, those are the versions in the coming release.

For those not familiar with OpenBSD, it’s had an accelerated amdgpu driver since 2019, and inteldrm/radeondrm for a few years longer, generally kept up to date with Linux stable throughout that time.

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Over time there can be periodic drift and out of date drivers until they re-sync, but it usually works pretty well.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