I don't think so. nvidia cards are supported by the free (xorg) nv
driver, just as in XF86 before. The driver will get installed by
anaconda it it detects a nvidia adapter. Works fine here with x86_64.

The free driver is missing some (or better: a lot of) features which are
supported by the binary-only nvidia driver. This driver currently
doesn't work in core 2 due to a kernel issue (4gb problem, i386 only),
not due to a xorg problem. For details you should search the archiv.
