I'm using F24 with nvidia drivers and steam. No problems except with my
external sound card. But thanks to Richards fix the problem has been solved.

In the past I've used fedup to upgrade and now, of course, dnf. In neither case were
the
nvidia drivers removed/replaced with nouveau. This is using the nvidia drivers supplied
by rpmfusion.
I can confirm this behaviour. Never ever has the nvidia driver been
reverted to the nouveau driver as long as using rpmfusion.
Additionally, using the akmod-nvidia as opposed to relying on rpmfusion to supply kmods
will free you from having to wait or worry about rpmfusion repositories keeping in sync
with released kernels.
Yes, works like a charm. :)
