For my use case, the latest NVidia hardware isn't supported on 14.04 (I'm on 15.04 now, but it definitely wasn't supported previously). I believe I need 340.xx or higher for Geforce 750 (Maxwell+) or above. For gamers especially, it's recommended to always use the latest stable driver because it will have the latest fixes, performance improvements, and possibly features that your new game requires. Some drivers will also include game specific profiles to optimize the driver for that specific game. Steam actually included a Video Driver Update checker and will warn if you drivers are to out-of-date (this doesn't work on Linux). We've had the most games released for Linux in the last year (or so), then any year (or decade?) previously. That's why this hasn't really been an issue before.
