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.
