Since that report date, several stable drivers has been published:
- 334.21: mainly added support for recent 7xx cards (750,...) and some opengl features/fixes
- 337.25: improved 334 with newer features/fixes about hardware like hdmi
- 340.32: again more fixes
Sadly Canonical's support about third graphics driver like nvidia is always at least 6 months behind the actuality: latest Utopic archive only provide outdated drivers for recent hardware (nothing better than 331.20 as of today).
That means missing:lots issues already fixed upstream, better hardware support: 7xx cards, hdmi, hidpi), improved software features/fixes: mostly about opengl.
Please Alberto, we hardly need some work from you to be done with a closer timing. Note that Debian already propose the 340 driver.
I know that such report is not really seen by the supposed maintainer (only 2 subscribers !!!, a shame), and a quick launchpad's bug search about 'nvidia' provide an endless list of never been 'assigned' bugs.
