I would recommend starting with a clean install of Fedora or else clean out all previously installed packages related to NVIDIA GPU and CUDA, and then install cuda using the recommended method provided in the linux install guide. The linux install guide also provides some guidance about cleaning out old installs, however it does not cover everything you may have installed from other non-NVIDIA repos. Get your installers from [url]http://www.nvidia.com/getcuda[/url]
Thanks! I’ve followed as suggested, removed all cuda and nvidia packages, drivers and kernel modules.
Now I’m trying to install drivers provided from cuda as expected and I am struggling with this issue:

Also I am unable to find dedicated drivers for fedora 28 on your website
Update:
I have manually removed package
sudo rpm -e --nodeps libglvnd-glx-1:1.0.1-0.7.git5baa1e5.fc28.i686
Now I am struggling with conflicts:

I have removed already installed cuda, and installed cuda-drivers first.
Now I am installing cuda again, but with:
sudo dnf --disablerepo=“fedora-nvidia*” install cuda
Still not sure if installing F27 libraries over F28 is a good idea…
it is “installed” and looks like working. But now I will end up with issue while trying to run simple system update as I am unable to update cuda/cuda-drivers to ones provided by fedora

Error Summary
-------------
For Now, I am able to update system using
sudo dnf update -x cuda
But I would love to get official opinion of most “proper” approach of installing drivers
I experienced a similar problem installing CUDA on a Fedora 25. There was a nvidia driver provided by rpmfusion that was lingering: xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-devel.i686. Once I removed it, the installation went without another glitch.
Basically, what I am trying to say is, there might be a 32-bit nvidia driver still sitting on your system, and the CUDA installation cannot go forward.
As for the CUDA drivers update:
I would try to disable the cuda repo in order to install the drivers from rpmfusion (ie, fedora-nvidia): sudo dnf --disablerepo=cuda* install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia*. However, it won’t work if the drivers version is the same - hence, the conflict.
If the previous tip will not work, I would try to remove the cuda drivers (sudo dnf remove cuda-drivers), then install the rpmfusion packages.
