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. – karel Mar 11 '17 at 13:32

I noticed something else that's different in your screenshot it says you are using an alternative driver and in my Additional Drivers tab it says I am using the recommended driver. I installed my driver from the terminal with the command: `sudo apt install nvidia-340` How did you install your Nvidia driver? – karel Mar 11 '17 at 13:44

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. – Pilot6 Mar 11 '17 at 13:59

Try the 375 version. It is unofficial, but it should support your card. – Pilot6 Mar 11 '17 at 14:02

You have GT 640. The PPA is already installed. Select the 375 driver and press "Apply changes". – Pilot6 Mar 11 '17 at 14:04
