I have a 2012 Alienware x51 and I installed Ubuntu 13.04 on it with the hdmi plugged into my Nvidia 660 graphics card. It installed the nouveau drivers by default and I have no option in the "additional drivers" section to install Nvidia driver so I installed it manually from the Nvidia web site but Steam complains that there is a OpenGL incompatibility.
Why is there no option to install Nvidia drivers in the "additional drivers" section?
All I want to do is have Nvidia drivers to test out Steam on Linux.
Mybe look at this:
How to install a driver for an NVIDIA card not detected by Additional Drivers?
NVidia Doesn't Show Up in Additional Driver + Power Regression Issue in Ubuntu 12.04
Know that The Nvidia card is not compatible with Unity 3D. The Intel HD 3000 is. That >means that if you're using Unity 3D now, it's the Intel card which is in use. And the >fact The Graphics Driver name does not appear in Systems Settings (Details),
also maybe helpful (external url)

I would remove all manually installed drivers, reboot and check if it appears then.
Maybe try running jockey-gtk as sudo "sudo jockey-gtk"
Last i checked the 310 experimental drivers where required for steam.
