I don't doubt that the drivers work.
I had previously installed ubuntu 11.04 on this same pc and
installed the same nvidia drivers. They worked ok there.
(But I didn't like unity so I removed ubuntu and installed fed 15)

Knowing that the drivers should work is hardly comforting when they
refuse to work with fed15/gnome3.

I hope somebody comes with a suggestion or I will be forced to
install KDE (which I don't like but at least you do not need to
install the nvidia drivers because nouveau works quite well) or
Xfce (which I don't like either and which has some bugs/shortcomings)
