I'm using the following on CentOS 7.4:

uname -r :

3.10.0-693.5.2.el7.x86_64

Model:           Quadro 2000
IRQ:             31
GPU UUID:        GPU-6ecc2b2b-34ce-6e47-1e08-55389dc64680
Video BIOS:      70.06.31.02.01
Bus Type:        PCIe
DMA Size:        40 bits
DMA Mask:        0xffffffffff
Bus Location:    0000:0f:00.0
Device Minor:    0

NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  384.90  Tue Sep 19 
19:17:35 PDT 2017
GCC version:  gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-16) (GCC)

I manually built the driver - from the nvidia-installer.log :

nvidia-installer command line:
     ./nvidia-installer
     --accept-license
     --no-questions
     --silent
     --install-libglvnd

The nouveau driver is blacklisted via the boot cmdline option:

rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau

Works fine for me ...
