I concur. The only thing I get from elrepo is kmod-nvidia; on install, it
creates a blacklist for nouveau, so it won't be automatically loaded. It
also rebuilds by itself when you update the kernel, instead of having to
manually rebuild the drivers from the proprietary installer.
I hear rumors that kmod-nvidia will be coming in RHEL soon, and so here to
CentOS.
