Running this command is only listed my integrated graphics card:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 (rev 06)
        DeviceName:  Onboard IGD
        Subsystem: Dell XPS 15 9550
        Kernel driver in use: i915
        Kernel modules: i915

Try "lspci -k | grep -A 4 -i 'nvidia'"

Fedora uses the "nouveau" driver for NVIDIA devices.  It is based on
reverse engineering, so is
not as capable as the NVIDIA drivers, which you can get from rpmfusion.

Does the Nouveau driver come preinstalled in F33 ? I can see that the 
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau package is installed.
I can see that there are some messages related to nouveau at startup (some 
regarding FAULTs).

[   23.459057] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Enabling HDA controller
[   23.748533] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: bus: MMIO read of 00000000 FAULT at 619444 
[ IBUS ]

The nouveau driver is included with the kernel, those messages are from that driver.

If nouveau is adequate for your purposes you should consider continuing
to use it but

So I will ask the previous question again. Does this driver come preinstalled? 
Or do I need to activate these Third Party Repositories offered by the Gnome 
Software app (rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver.repo)?
Once I activate this repository, do I need to install a specific package for my 
graphics card?

That repo is for the proprietary NVidia kernel module and yes, you'll have to install a particular package and I don't know which one for sure, but you could try "akmod-nvidia".
