It's determined by driver. You might not have the right one.

have updated the drivers to 178.13, and it seems that these are better drivers, game play seems better, but no matter how I try to change the resolution in the N-panel and then adjust it in the settings tab, it wants 1280X1024, 1440X900 is not even a option, but I can tell if I turn picture sideways they appear stretched

install driver for your monitor........ur PC is not able to detect ur monitor correctly and probably thinks its a normal 19 inch so max resolution is 1280x1024 only
