The latest I've seen by x-swat team is 304.64 I don't believe jockey would have offered you 310 don't think it's been released yet.
If you want the latest driver compiled by the Ubuntu x-swat team you'll have to add their PPA to your repository list.
you can do that by going to the following page and following the instructions there:
http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/ubuntu-x-swat
then you can install the latest from them either by jockey or teminal or synaptic.
good Luck,

Additional drivers is part of software sources now (or so I am led to believe, for reasons I won't go into software sources doesn't run on my computer so I can't check this out).

Ppas are very outdated, there are 313.x already. Jockey offers 310.14 on Ubuntu as the latest "experimental". I'll give manual install a shot

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but it worked for me.
Call up the Synaptic Package Manager
Search for boinc-nvidia-cuda
Select the package for downloading.
Click on Apply.
I hope this helps...Gandalf
