I have an HP Omen with Core i7 integrated Intel graphics and an NVidia
1050Ti. With recent versions of the kernel (Ubuntu 18.04 and Arch) it
is unusable if the standard Linux "nouveau" driver gets loaded -
screen freezes, sometimes black screens. I've had to blacklist it
(modprobe.blacklist=nouveau on the kernel parameters line) to get it
to come up with the Intel GPU. Then I install the proprietary drivers.
I haven't tried Fedora.
You can probably do a web search to find out when "nouveau" lost its
ability to deal with NVidia cards; I just got the machine last
December and it was broken back then.

What's the current state of Fedora with regard to Nvidia graphics

Should it just work?
On a machine with GeForce GTX 1060, Fedora 28 suffers badly from freezes and
slowdowns during boot, unbearable slow mouse movement on the GDM login
screen, then more freezes before GNOME Shell appears but isn't really
usable because everything is slow as a snail. Switching the login settings
from Wayland to Xorg at least results in a usable GNOME Shell. Installing
the Nvidia driver packages from rpmfusion hasn't made a difference.
The current Fedora 29 Live Workstation image starts, but faces mysterious
freezes before the desktop appears. Installation to harddisk has worked, but
I've run into a series of unrelated issues, and the performance of GNOME Shell
isn't pretty. It takes too long to start a terminal, or suddenly the shell
freezes for 10-15 seconds and restarts.
