Does Haiku still have unaccelerated software rendering of the UI?
Edit: yes, seems their nvidia drivers don't have 2d acceleration.

Yes, I believe that's correct. There's some work on vulkan and a discussion about pulling some stuff from openBSD, but either doesn't seem to be a priority for the project at the moment. I'm sure supporting modern graphics cards isn't trivial, not a task of theirs I envy.
There is 3d acceleration, but just AMD Radeon, not NVIDIA.
NVIDIA does not document its hardware, thus why the open source driver situation is bad.
