Hi Frank,

Looking back in the changelog for kmod-nvidia, the last version built 
for el7.4 was version 390.48-1

So I suggest you try installing:

http://mirrors.coreix.net/elrepo-archive-archive/elrepo/el7/x86_64/RPMS/kmod-nvidia-390.48-1.el7_4.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

and the matching nvidia-x11-drv package:

http://mirrors.coreix.net/elrepo-archive-archive/elrepo/el7/x86_64/RPMS/nvidia-x11-drv-390.48-1.el7_4.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

We only build for the latest point release, so there will not be any 
later packages for el7.4 from elrepo.

Hope that helps.

Phil
