I would suggest trying the NVIDIA proprietary driver from the ELRepo
rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-7.0-2.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm yum install kmod-nvidia reboot

<rant> And indeed, nvidia proprietary driver "will work better" for less trivial cases. E.g., if you attach two screens with different resolution. open source driver will not handle it, whereas proprietary driver will. This is why I, to the contrary to majority of Linux folks, never favored nvidia. ATI (at least before they were bought by AMD) and matrox were disclosing much more detail about their chips, thus providing to open source
<snip> Perhaps, but *every* time I have to deal with ATI cards, it's a royal pain. Esp. since the Catalyst drives is now "replaced" (except it wasn't available for Linux, when I was trying to use it in the late fall. I had to replace a couple of users' video cards with *old* NVidia ones, after I rebuilt them as CentOS 7, because I *could* *not* get them to respond properly to their visualization software, nor to one's 27"? 29" diagonal monitor; it wouldn't support the video mode.
At least I *can* rebuild it, NVidia does support it that way, and the rebuild always works.
