  • This is a good question because you are using the NVIDIA binary driver version 340.102 (open source) and I am using the NVIDIA binary driver version 340.101 (proprietary, tested) from the default Ubuntu repositories and I would also like to know the answer to this question.

All nvidia-xxx are proprietary Nvidia drivers.

They are shown as "open source" because you added an unofficial PPA, probably graphics-drivers/ppa and the system can't detect what driver is there.

You can check the nvidia-375. It should support your GT 640.

  • What is the Ubuntu version? The driver looks to be wrong for your card.
