Yeah, great point. I actually forgot about that - I'm using the radeon
driver, which I think is also from rpmfusion.
I had very few problems running akmods with Nvidia drivers from RPM Fusion, but then again, I also was the maintainer for quite some time :) However, you mentioned FOSS drivers so I didn't mention it. You shouldn't need the radeon drivers with the newer AMD cards, which is why I mentioned the RX 5XX series, they run well out of the box. I only installed the amdgpu drivers for OpenCL support.
If you can find the RX 4XX card they're nearly identical, the 5XX series have a little higher clock speed.
Thanks,
Richard
