Up to F24, I have had no problem with any nVidia card other than Laptop 
due to Bumblebee (intel/nvidia) video cards.

Even use a Titan X on one machine for gaming, loaded and operated 
perfectly except for a couple of updates where driver was not built from 
akmods.

GeForce GTX 960
In the machine with a builtin AMD video card that would freeze (lock 
system) almost daily with no issues.  Since moving to nVidia, no 
freezing issues.  Uptime is only kernel updates.

GeForce 9500 GT in a much older system, still works with nvidia driver 
from rpmfusion.  Same, no kernel updates, no reboot.  now used as a 
server so the nVidia drivers are overkill.

I find things just work as default on machines.
