Changelog snippet:
New in GeForce 310.90:

Adds a security update for the NVIDIA Display Driver service (nvvsvc.exe).
Improves performance for GeForce GTX 690:
Up to 19% faster performance in Autodesk 3ds Max when interacting with large models compared to GeForce GTX 480.
Up to 60% faster performance in ray tracing applications such as NVIDIA iray and Chaos V-Ray (subject to the scene fitting into graphics memory) compared to GeForce GTX 480.
Up to 76% faster performance in the 3D extruded ray tracing capability in Adobe After Effects compared to GeForce GTX 480.
Can someone with a Geforce GTX 6x0 test this out? I doubt this is only for the GTX 690.
No change for the GTX 560 Ti from 306 to 310.

I tried this the other day with these new drivers and get exactly the same benchmark so looks like BS to me.

their "compared to GeForce GTX 480" makes me suspicious. Are they just saying it is now 60% faster than the 480?

I guess so.

@ASyme1
You tested this on the 680?
Maybe this is really just for the 690 :/
