You can test all you want, but Fedora doesn't support the Nvidia
non-free graphics driver anyway. You probably could create a live
medium with the driver included, but you certainly couldn't call it
Fedora anymore.

See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ForbiddenItems#NVIDIA_Accelerated_Graphics_Drivers

For what it's worth, I have used KDE 4 with an Nvidia graphics card,
without the binary driver, and I haven't seen any related KDE issues
at all while doing that.
