I have a GT710 in F34. It was running the rpmfusion default driver, in
the 470 series but without the 470xx label. Earlier this week 'dnf
update' wanted to install 495, the new (unlabelled) default which does
not support that card, but I didn't accept.
Then the kde 'software updater' widget showed updates, but with a red
dot. It looked as if I could tick-to-disable just the nvidia updates,
so I did and went ahead; the driver updates happened anyway.
Without rebooting I tried
dnf install --allowerasing akmod-nvidia-470xx
which ran the usual tests and started to go ahead, but then reported a
file conflict.
So I tried
sudo rpm -e --nodeps xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs
followed by
sudo dnf install --allowerasing akmod-nvidia-470xx kmod-nvidia-470xx
which all worked.
sudo systemctl reboot
then rebooted as normal, but NVDEC tv decoding was not available until
I also did
sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-470xx-cuda

Here's the current status of that installation. I tried to erase the
only 495.46 package there, but it wanted to take the cuda package below
it too. Maybe I only need the cuda-libs.
