Sorry, I can't help you figure out what's wrong there. I completely
avoid any computers containing NVidia graphics... If you don't have any
need for the NVidia part, you might be able to disable it in the BIOS.
I don't know why the Intel part isn't working for modesetting.

That would be included. You want one of the akmod-nvidia* packages.
Since it's a recent chipset, it would most likely be the "akmod-nvida"
package. (Don't forget to install "kernel-devel" as well.)
Installing:
akmod-nvidia x86_64 1:367.35-1.fc24
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates 70 k
akmods noarch 0.5.4-3.fc24
rpmfusion-free-updates 25 k
kmodtool noarch 1-23.fc24
rpmfusion-free 17 k
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia x86_64 1:367.35-3.fc24
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates 3.9 M
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-kmodsrc x86_64 1:367.35-3.fc24
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates 5.7 M
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs x86_64 1:367.35-3.fc24
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates 17 M
The problem
is that you will need to clean any mess left behind by the NVidia
installer you tried to run before you install the package.
It looks like that every things is in /var/log/
