Now, back to my boxes. NVIDIA declared these fancy cards obsolete (the are only about 6 years old, and hardware still does appropriate job for what we need). There is no proprietary NVIDIA driver which you can install with latest kernels (latest speaking CentOS 6 kernels). You know you have to compile kernel interface for their binary driver. No way: no updated binary driver for these my obsoleted by NVIDIA cards. So, NVIDIA locked me on these boxes to older kernel.
There is a proprietary driver package that you can build that will support them. I have a Guadro 4000 aka GL100GL on my workstation, and am running 6.6 current, and NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-310.40.run, which you can still d/l from NVida's site, for it (I need the proprietary for two screens).
I highly recommend that you install nvidia-detect [1] from ELRepo and run it.
