Fedora doesn't ship with, or support the nVidia drivers.  They only supply the opensouce nouveau driver for nVidia hardware.   Assuming you do have nVidia hardware you should see the nouveau driver module loaded when you consult the output of "lsmod".

There are several ways to install the proprietary nVidia drivers.  I prefer the RPMfusion method.

You'd go to  http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration and follow the instructions for enabling the RPMfusion Free and Non-Free repositories. 

Then....

yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia kmod-nvidia

Should be sufficient.
