I switch between nvidia and nouveau for testing.

Here are the steps I use to install the nvidia driver.
(I have no idea why you would need to bother with the black listing stuff).

Install NVidia closed drivers

Fist remove open driver:

   dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nouveau

Install closed driver: 

   dnf install akmod-nvidia
   reboot
