The 570 proprietary drivers do support GTX 1060, as stated in nVidia’s documentation.
It’s only the open-kernel flavour of the driver that doesn’t support that card.
Well i guess removing all and then install only
sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda could fix not sure, but if i remember i had some issues where i had both installed and modules wasent loaded
It might be worth trying these instructions (in the “Recover from NVIDIA installer” section), to remove anything that installing the nVidia .img file left behind:
The NVIDIA binary driver installer overwrite some configuration and libraries. If you want to recover to a clean state, either to use nouveau or the packaged driver, use:
rm -f /usr/lib{,64}/libGL.so.* /usr/lib{,64}/libEGL.so.*
rm -f /usr/lib{,64}/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
dnf reinstall -y xorg-x11-server-Xorg mesa* libglvnd*
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.saved
I’ve never done that myself - not 100% sure whether it is going to help here or not.
I just did that, and reinstalled the drivers and it actually worked. The output of the NVIDIA SMI looks like this now.

Thank you everyone!

This two year old solution still works for me. I did a clean install of f42 and tried to follow the steps in this thread. for reasons I don’t understand it would appear to work; but never load the driver on reboot.
I went back and found this back and forth with Jeff V. and it fixed my laptop first time.
That said, the RPM Fusion instructions are what seems to be recommended first.
