The latest driver for nVidia cards (such as yours) is 290.10 and not 
280.13 which was released last August. I am surprised that Ubuntu does 
not have the latest driver available for installation.

In any case, I always download the latest driver from nVidia site and 
compile it myself (need to do this with every upgrade of the kernel, and 
I am on kernel 3.2 at the moment). Compiling it is easy - read the 
instructions given on the nVidia site.
