Nividia GTX 1050 Ti works very well for me. We have some issues with
i915 and radeon but I haven't heard any recent complaints about the
1050. The Radeon R7 360 is OK as well for me, so I imagine the R7 240
should work too. Both with NetBSD-current. Note that neither of above
work well with NetBSD 9.
