The easiest way to find the right driver version is to install
nvidia-detect [1] from ELRepo and run it. For example:

$ nvidia-detect -v
Probing for supported NVIDIA devices...
[10de:0fc1] NVIDIA Corporation GK107 [GeForce GT 640]
This device requires the current 346.47 NVIDIA driver kmod-nvidia

If you use ELRepo's kmod-nvidia package [2], you do not need to do any
of this manually. It will disable nouveau for you. Just set up ELRepo
as Pat suggested and run 'yum install kmod-nvidia'.
