i haven't gotten 4K working with netbsd radeon yet, but i haven't really
tried -- the one setup i have doesn't support it.

it works fine with intel graphics (not useful, they don't make modern
cards as PCIe afaik), and i assume relatively modern nvidia works.

the netbsd amdgpu driver does not work yet, so don't use the amdgpu
list as anything useful.  you can get a lot of the support with the
radeon driver as well, but it doesn't have much accel on modern
cards.

if you can get a slightly older radeon card that is properly supported
by the radeon driver that may be best, though the nvidia support for
a lot of decent cards seems good in -current.  eg, the GTX 960 works
pretty sweet in my testing.  the GTX 1xxx series isn't supported yet.
