Running this command is only listed my integrated graphics card:

DeviceName: Onboard IGD
Subsystem: Dell XPS 15 9550
Kernel driver in use: i915

Try "lspci -k | grep -A 4 -i 'nvidia'"
Fedora uses the "nouveau" driver for NVIDIA devices. It is based on
reverse engineering, so is
not as capable as the NVIDIA drivers, which you can get from rpmfusion.
Does the Nouveau driver come preinstalled in F33 ? I can see that the xorg-x11-drv-nouveau package is installed.
I can see that there are some messages related to nouveau at startup (some regarding FAULTs).
[ 23.459057] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Enabling HDA controller
[ 23.748533] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: bus: MMIO read of 00000000 FAULT at 619444 [ IBUS ]
The nouveau driver is included with the kernel, those messages are from
that driver.
If nouveau is adequate for your purposes you should consider continuing
to use it but
So I will ask the previous question again. Does this driver come preinstalled? Or do I need to activate these Third Party Repositories offered by the Gnome Software app (rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver.repo)?
Once I activate this repository, do I need to install a specific package for my graphics card?
That repo is for the proprietary NVidia kernel module and yes, you'll
have to install a particular package and I don't know which one for
sure, but you could try "akmod-nvidia".
