I guess you set up 389 manually. OI so far only bundles 340.*. 

NVidia ships and still releases several major versions of drivers which support different sets of video cards - so there seems to be no clear "one version to drive any card". 

There's some development going to provide 304.* and 389.* in the repo as alternatives for people to try easily.
