So to me all looks good - but there is no hardware acceleration???
When I play the video with totem its taking way too much CPU. I removed the ~/.cache/gstreamer* .
What have I missed ?

My initial guess would be that Nvidia dropped full support for a ~10 year old card. They usually only focus on the last 5 years and drop various 'features' for older cards over time. I say this from running into this back when EL7 came out and people were having similar problems where 'it worked in EL6' and then it didn't after EL7

I don't use totem but isn't there a way to tell it which video out to use?
I would recommend installing vlc or mplayer and trying again. You can install them from the RPM Fusion repo. They both allow you to choose the video driver if needed, and I wouldn't be surprised if their defaults work better for you out of the box.
