Also I ;)

In order to avoid the uninstall of a lot of packages due to
dependencies, and to proceed on 20 machines, I preferred to use a less
elegant way (use it at your own risk - be careful some one line commands
are split on multiple lines in this message and you may have to adapt
the name of the packages to yours):

rpm -e --nodeps xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx.x86_64 \
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-libs.i686 \
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-libs.x86_64

yum -y install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 \
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia.x86_64 

akmods --force

rpm -e kmod-nvidia-340xx-3.17.8-200.fc20.x86_64-340.65-3.fc20.1.x86_64 

akmods --kernel 3.17.8-200.fc20.x86_64

then to be sure:

yum -y upgrade

and 

reboot

Hope this will help.

Cordially,
