FWIW,

I changed my video card a few weeks ago as one was on clearance sale. 
It is still an Nvidia card and it works like a dream.  No issues at all.

On the other hand, with a fully updated FC6 box, I have had freezes that 
show the exact symptoms that I had on my F7 machine.  During the freeze 
I ssh'd into the computer and ran top and saw that Xorg was at 95%. 
When I tried to strace the machine froze.  My work computer us using ATI 
so this points to a kernel issue.

With what I have been reading about changing the kernel scheduler and 
queuing system, I wonder if there is a conflict that will take some time 
to find.

I have been to busy to look at the nvidia site for personal reasons.

Work and other things are why I have taken so long to reply.
