I'd guess, your graphics card requires a driver from NVidia's 
"Long-Lived" 340.* series (I had this issue myself)

Unfortunately, rpmfusion currently only ships NVidia's drivers form 
"Legacy" (304.*) and "Short Lived" (343.*) series.

May-be you could give the packages under review at
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3416
a try.
