Should be easy. Are you having trouble, or just lining up the

Well, when installing RH, the installer should detect it as an nvidia
card and install the appropriate X drivers for it.

Note that while those will work,  you will not get the 3d accell
performance you may be expecting. If you want that, you need to go
to nvidia's web site, download their kernel module and their GLX
package (picking the right ones carefully) and follow their installation
instructions. It's not hard to do ....

I'm using a Gainward G4MX440 card here and it installed like a breeze.
