I would suggest removing the '.run' installed driver: 

http://fedorasolved.org/video-solutions/remove-nvidia-installer/

Then, see if the free nouveau driver included with fedora meets your
needs:

If it doesn't, then finally install the kmod from rpmfusion for the non
free binary only nvidia driver:
