Did you install the nvidia module from rpmfusion repositories? If so,
it automatically black lists nouveau for you. However, your initramfs
still has nouveau in it. You need to re-build it and reboot:

su -c "dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)"

Also, add the replacement X.Org server to fix the slow KDE problem:

su -c "vim /etc/yum.repos.d/xorgFix.repo"

[rdieter]
name=xorg-x11-server rebuilds for nvidia users
baseurl=http://rdieter.fedorapeople.org/repo/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Update your system again.

-c
