I would definitely advise you *not* to do that.
As someone pointed out in this thread, the nvidia-provided driver can 
mess with some system libs. The elrepo-provided one does not, and if it 
did you'ld know about it as rpm would detect a conflict.
Having the driver in an rpm is a huge plus.
...
ah, I see in a later email you went the elrepo way, well done!

Note that there are now 4 branches of the nvidia driver (3 legacy + 
latest), each supporting different devices. To know which branch you 
need, simply install nvidia-detect from elrepo and run it.
