No. Your card is too old. You'd have to upgrade your card to use

drivers. If you get a Turing or newer (GTX 1600 or RTX 2000 or newer)
card, then you can either choose to use the latest proprietary NVIDIA
driver or the new Nouveau+NVK stack built into the operating system.
However your current card is so old that it probably works reasonably
okay with nouveau too. The troublesome cards where you *must* use the
proprietary driver are the GTX 900 and the GTX 1000 cards.
Yes, I see now it's 10 years old! :=(
I put my money into the processor (AMD Ryzen 7 3800X) when I bought
this machine, I don't really need powerful graphics, the 710 might've
been the most sensible cheapest option, I don't remember.
Is the newest 470 driver (239.06) likely to arrive in the Fedora repo?
You might want to consider getting a low-cost AMD graphics card, there
are plenty of RDNA2 GPUs at around $100 now.
Alternatively, if your computer supports SAM (Smart Access Memory) or
ReBAR (Resizable BAR) in the BIOS (or through a BIOS update for the
motherboard), then an Intel Arc A380 is usually around $100 too.
Both will perform significantly better and get you out of the hole of
legacy NVIDIA drivers that are going to EOL.
While looking for a new card to upgrade from a 710, I was finding that
current cards were demanding a power supply upgrade as well
