If the man page doesn't list the card as being supported then it's probably safe to assume that it isn't. The OpenBSD documentation has always been excellent from my experience.
I don't know what country you're from so I'm not sure about the pricing where you are. But from a quick check on Amazon UK, the cheapest passively cooled GPU seems to be the 1GB Radeon HD 5450. Though to be honest, it seems a little puny. If I were going to buy a passive card I would probably go for the 2GB Radeon HD 6450. Still not too pricey, but a bit more powerful. Both cards are supported by the Radeon driver. Though I must point out that I have no experience with either card, so buyer beware, as always.
ok thanks, so if i were to buy a new gpu (such as this, cheapest one on Amazon and I only really care about running this game so don't want to spend £100+)
and to get it installed in my computer, would it then run? would that be all I need to do? thanks. or would a better gpu be needed?
Pretty much anything will do. At work we use the AMD HD5450 because it's cheap and works well enough. Specifically the XFX HD-5450. If you get a different one make sure it comes with the low profile bracket- not all of them do.
If you can't source the HD5450 then the Nvidia GT610 would also be fine- again make sure it comes with a low profile bracket.
