I found a similar report on debian also relating to NVS315 with the 384.98 driver so I'm guessing this is hardware specific: https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg1570324.html I couldn't find any reports upstream at nvidia so am unsure if they are aware of the issue. For reference, my GK208 [GeForce GT 730] in my test system is unaffected by the issue and is working fine with the 384.98 driver over DVI. There is an updated version 387.34 short-lived branch driver available in the elrepo testing repository that you could test to see whether the issue has been fixed in this latest release (only available for el7 currently).
