doesn't the nVidia installer uninstall everything nvidia before it installs the version in the invoked installer run file?

I wouldn't know as I always install everything from packages, and that's what Mark is doing as well. For me, I use rpmfusion as the repo and they maintain Nvidia driver packages. I don't know exactly why this happens, but I have seen cases where updating a kernel and installing the new driver with a normal "dnf update" puts the Nvidia stuff in a screwed-up state where GNOME won't work. The way I have fixed it is just "dnf remove *nvidia*" and then reinstall the nvidia packages I need from scratch.
