Which is the easiest Nvidia card for rpmfusion?
No games, though I do need to drive two screens
(hdmi and DVI).
Any recommendations please?
I'll be going up to Fedora 25 in a couple of weeks <grin/>

Up to F24, I have had no problem with any nVidia card other than Laptop
due to Bumblebee (intel/nvidia) video cards.
Even use a Titan X on one machine for gaming, loaded and operated
perfectly except for a couple of updates where driver was not built from
akmods.
GeForce GTX 960
In the machine with a builtin AMD video card that would freeze (lock
system) almost daily with no issues. Since moving to nVidia, no
freezing issues. Uptime is only kernel updates.
GeForce 9500 GT in a much older system, still works with nvidia driver
from rpmfusion. Same, no kernel updates, no reboot. now used as a
server so the nVidia drivers are overkill.
I find things just work as default on machines.
