we have reports that 1030 works well.  i still haven't gotten
a newer nvidia since those are beyond my toy-gpu-card-price :-)

the RX 550 mostly works but we are still having some bugs (i
have one of these from before they went up about 2x in cost).
the two issues i reported before merge:

   https://github.com/riastradh/netbsd-src/issues/24
   https://github.com/riastradh/netbsd-src/issues/28

i don't think we got fixes for these yet.  #42 looks like the
same issue as my #24, and #34 is a panic i've never seen but
on the next generation card (5500.)

HTH.
