For the nvidia 470 series, the akmod and xorg driver have 470xx in the package name, so it would be a swap rather than a downgrade -- just FWIW. Run `rpm -qa '*nvidia*' | sort` to see what's installed now. I don't see any nvidia 495 driver in the rpmfusion nonfree repository. I see 530, 470, 390, and 340. If that's installed via the nvidia installer, I don't know what to say about cleaning it up; I have no idea what sort of a mess that installer leaves on a system. If it were me, I'd carefully figure out how to remove all traces of the nvidia-installed driver and then install it from the rpmfusion packages. That may be a tedious process if the nvidia-installer behaves like most third-party installers do. -- Todd
