Hi Jeff,
Thx for your report.

I don't reproduce on my workstation:
uname -r
4.8.4-200.fc24.x86_64
$ modinfo -F version nvidia
367.57
$ lspci |grep VGA
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107GL [Quadro
K620] (rev a2)

So there is currently not enought information for such update request.
We will update to 370.28 when we will fix others issues that might
arise to some corner cases.
Until then the usual way to get nvidia release ahead of the current
version is to use the latest/Beta driver that way:
http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia#Latest.2BAC8-Beta_driver

Also, if you hit any nvidia issue in the future, please attach the
output of nvidia-bug-report.sh to our bugzilla, we are totally blind
without it.
(even remontly from ssh from another host).

Thx again for your report.
