Could be the EDID data returned by the monitor.
My old Iiyama AU4831D returns two modes in EDID
data, 1024x768 and 1600x1200. The nvidia driver
selects the 1024x768 one. Order of the modes as
returned by the monitor is important. A newer model
of the Iiyama panel did swap the modes around, and with
the newer monitor nvidia automatically selects the
1600x1200 resolution.
Solution was:
Create an xorg.conf file and add NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck
to the screen section:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
# Work around nvidia problems with AU4831D panel
Option "ModeValidation" "NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck"
