Update: There is also the 344.16 for the GTX 970 and GTX 980, resolving an issue specific to them.
When they release a new graphics card, especially in a new architecture, NVIDIA will have software ready to support it. First and most obvious, Maxwell comes with the GeForce 344.11 drivers – which is the first to support only Fermi and later GPUs. Mostly, the driver's purpose is supporting the new graphics cards and optimizing to Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, The Evil Within, F1 2014, and Alien: Isolation. It also supports multi-monitor G-Sync, which was previously impossible, even with three single-DisplayPort Kepler cards.
At the same time, NVIDIA launched a new GeForce Experience with more exciting features. First, and I feel least expected, it allows the SHIELD Wireless Controller to be connected to a PC, but only wired with its provided USB cable. This also means that you cannot use the controller without a GeForce graphics card.
If you have a GeForce GTX 900-series add-in board, you will be able to use Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) and record in 4K video with ShadowPlay. Performance when recording on a PC in SLI mode has been improved also, apparently even for Kepler-based cards.
Both the drivers and GeForce Experience are available now.

Anyone know if the 980 or 970
Anyone know if the 980 or 970 or both or neither have the outputs and logic necessary to support adaptive sync panels? I keep seeing dp1.2 in specs, but nothing about 1.2a or certainly not 1.3. I really want to pick one of these up, but not if they do not support both adaptive sync and g-sync. Thanks in advance?
Even if the cards support
Even if the cards support Adaptive Sync, another chunk is required for it to be used. AMD's version is called "FreeSync" and is "unique to AMD". NVIDIA would need to make an alternate version of G-Sync for those displays.
On top of that, until we test FreeSync, we still don't know which solution is better. It's possible that DisplayPort Adaptive Sync is clearly inferior to what G-Sync requires of monitor vendors. Maybe NVIDIA required monitor vendors to do something sub-optimal with G-Sync? Or maybe they are the same. We just do not know… yet.
