That's good. It's an old number though - 341.74.

I'm hoping it will help with video editing - hardware acceleration. At the moment a few editor software packages don't support old GPU drivers. eg PowerDirector -

"For users of NVIDIA cards who have updated to graphics driver 340.43 or later, the video hardware acceleration feature in PowerDirector is no longer available. To re-enable hardware acceleration, please download and install an earlier driver."

Maybe this new driver will help.

Because of its improved performance and quality, NVIDIA is focusing all future video encoding development on NVENC, which is the dedicated encoding hardware engine first added in Kepler family of GPUs. NVIDIA no longer supports NVCUVENC, which was the CUDA-based video encoder library. NVENC is replacing the earlier CUDA software-based NVCUVENC driver module. On Quadro and Tesla, 341.05 is the last driver to support NVCUVENC. NVCUVENC will not be available with GeForce after R337.

It won't be back and older drivers have known security vulnerabilities that is fixed with the latest 341.xx drivers. Cyberlink asking users to revert to older drivers is really irresponsible & unacceptable.
