Someone on the Ubuntu forum : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2247205&page=2&p=13137953#post13137953
Told me that "Looks like the GT740 wasn't supported until nvidia-337, and Ubuntu 14.04 only has nvidia-331. Perhaps this is why it didn't offer any additional driver.'
Checking nvidia site : http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/76278/en-us
I found this for the 337.25 version :

Added support for the following GPUs:

    GeForce GTX TITAN Z
    GeForce GT 740
    GeForce 830M
    GeForce 840M
    GeForce 845M
    GeForce GTX 850M

Title:
  10de:0fc8 No nvidia proprietary drivers offered in x64

Status in “ubuntu-drivers-common” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hello

  I've switched from ubuntu 14.04 32 bits to 14.04 64 bits.

  In the additional driver tab of my system parametrers, the usual
  nvidia proprietary driver which wera appearing in the 32 bits version
  does not appears in the 64 bits version.

  As a workaround, I've installed this PPA : https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa but the system refuses to add the updates after this PPa is installed because it says the updates have not been verified....I have not have this problem on 32 bits...
