Systemd doesn't seem to allow me to switch to what used to be runlevel 3 (does such a thing still exist in a port systemd world?) to even begin to troubleshoot. makes me wonder if I ran into that when I was dealing with that graphics card

You are still going to get the same "black screen" even with the new graphics card because if the driver - and here I am assuming the nVidia driver - does not fit the version of the kernel then you need to compile the driver for the installed kernel. And the only way I know how to do this is to boot into level 3 and then compile the driver. Why were the runlevels done away with anyway? For what illogical reason?
