Did you try the manual install, download the driver from nvidia

Alright so here is how to install the nvidia driver manually, in case the one in the repo doesn't work or u just want to use the latest.
Go to Yast>Software>Software Management
Search for and install if you don't have these:

make
gcc
kernel-source

Now download the latest Nvidia driver:
Place the file in your /home/username
Now restart and at the boot screen, pause the boot by moving the down button, then move back up and clear any text in the boot arguments by holding backspace. Then just type the number: 3
At the login
Type "root" then enter and then your root password and press enter.
now type
cd /home/username
*Now remember you can use the {TAB} key to auto complete
so type:
sh NVIDIA{TAB}
and the whole file name should auto complete
eg: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run
Follow the installer and let it compile the kernel module for you.
Say Yes to everything
Use TAB to move around
reboot
