NVidia Drivers 340 or 390, which one should I choose?

Question

I'm getting two options for NVidia Drivers 340 and 390.
I was wondering, what are the differences between the 3.40 and 3.90 driver and which one should I choose ?

My Video Card is Asus NVidia GTX 760

Solution

You can check for recommended versions from below official website.

Each new version comes with new functionality or bug fix so stick with new one.

For details and differences between each drivers, please refer the change logs.

Follow the below ppa guidelines to install that.

Updated driver search by nVidia model, do not download, just check correct driver version geforce.com/drivers Why are you seeing those versions. It looks like card is newer and can use newer drivers. What version of Ubuntu and have you added ppa for most current versions? askubuntu.com/questions/61396/… If you install incorrect driver or want to change, be sure to purge as newer driver will create conflicts if older not removed first.

Yes thanks. It seems 3.90 was the recommended by the ubuntu PPA, after changing to the nvidia ppa the recommended driver was 430.
