Current Linux kernel doesn't contain a well-performing NVIDIA driver since there is no piece of work contributed to kernel from that vendor. For that Linus Torvalds even gave the middle finger to NVIDIA a couple of months ago. To get some beautiful visual effect, say from Compiz, a proprietary driver needs to be installed, either with a binary package from NVIDIA official website, or from some third party repository.
Here is a note on how to install the binary driver from NVIDIA. I didn't try that because otherwise I need to manually configure the driver every time the kernel gets updated. A third party repository would reduce the pain, with the instructions available here.
ELRepo is a third party repository for RHEL and its clones, featuring hardware related packages. Follow this page to configure the repository and this one for details about the NVIDIA driver.
