No. The planned 3D drivers won't go higher than the already 2D-supported
TeraScale 2 generation, which is still older than what OS4 supports as oldest generation (
GCN1) in terms of PCIe GPUs. Besides, card swapping has not been necessary
since MorphOS 3.17, which incorporated a bug fix to allow MorphOS running with two Radeon cards installed in X5000.

Yes, the comparison has been possible for as long as MorphOS has supported the X5000.
