Which driver to choose for GT 620M in Ubuntu 18.04?

I have an Acer Aspire E1-571G laptop with hybrid graphics (intel + nvidia optimus), with the recently installed Ubuntu operating system 18.04.2.
Linux 4.15.0-55-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 2 18:22:20 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I want to install proprietary drivers for Nvidia and use the video card using PRIME technology.
The tools in the operating system recommend installing the package nvidia-340:

:~$ ubuntu-drivers devices
== /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 ==
modalias : pci:v000010DEd00001140sv00001025sd0000064Cbc03sc00i00
vendor   : NVIDIA Corporation
model    : GF117M [GeForce 610M/710M/810M/820M / GT 620M/625M/630M/720M] (GeForce GT 620M)
driver   : nvidia-340 - distro non-free recommended
driver   : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin

But the native repositories have a newer driver nvidia-driver-390 https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/nvidia-driver-390.
In the file README.TXT which is in this package, in the section "Appendix A. Supported NVIDIA GPU Products" there is my video card:

GeForce GT 620M 1140 1025 064C C

And I can't understand why I am not recommended to install a newer version, maybe there are some reasons for this?

Here is the information about the video cards:

:~$ lspci -knn | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D'

    Kernel driver in use: i915

    Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] GeForce GT 620M [1025:064c]
    Kernel driver in use: nouveau

What driver version do you recommend? install?
Thanks.

It turns out that a new 430 driver was recently released.I decided to install it. I received this message in dmesg:

[   23.778869] NVRM: The NVIDIA GeForce GT 620M GPU installed in this system is
               NVRM:  supported through the NVIDIA 390.xx Legacy drivers. Please
               NVRM:  visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more
               NVRM:  information.  The 430.26 NVIDIA driver will ignore
               NVRM:  this GPU.  Continuing probe...
[   23.778872] NVRM: No NVIDIA graphics adapter found!
[   23.779863] nvidia-nvlink: Unregistered the Nvlink Core, major device number 239

As I understand it, nvidia-driver-390 still supports my video card, 430 - no longer. Installed 390.
