I had a few problems with this, so I thought I'd blog about it. There's a new way to install the Nvidia driver on Fedora. First, check if your laptop has the Optimus technology (hybrid graphics). If so, disable it in the BIOS. Then follow these instructions:

When you finally get ready to test out if your Nvidia driver was successfully installed, you can run glxgears and check the frame rate. You may have to turn off "Sync to VBlank" in the nvidia-settings (in "OpenGL Settings") first.
These instructions are needed to download (or create) a patched version of the NVIDIA installer, for newer kernels such as 5.x (e.g. 5.5 and 5.6).
