Back to your problem. In general the free driver shipped with the kernel should support your card. If it does not work and you get a black screen it might be worth checking the /var/log/Xorg.1.log that should be the log file of your non working boot after you booted up with nomodeset.
Take a look for E: marked lines as these are the important error messages.
Of course there are other logs there aswell like the sddm.log or you can also check journalctl for the general kernel log.
I hope you can take a look at this for me when you get back home, then. There is no Xorg.1.log, only a Xorg.0.log and a Xorg.0.log.old. Neither had E: lines anywhere in them. The sddm.log file was blank. I looked at journalctl but had no idea what I was looking for.
