Default Resolution is gone after installing Nvidia drivers

[Dolphing Kujog]

Hey guys! I'm having a problem here with my screen resolution. I was using an r7 240 before with a 1440x900 as my default monitor's resolution. As soon as I got a gtx 560, installed the drivers and everything, my resolution got messed up. I have several screen resolution available but the 1440x900 is gone. I have tried every available resolution but they all look terrible. Please help. The picture is either stretched vertically or horizontally depending on the resolution.

Did you remove the old drivers?
Use DDU to fully remove all traces of both GPU's drivers and start fresh.

Yes I did. I also used the DDU when I installed the new drivers.

There seems to be some kind of underlying software issue here, but in the mean time you should be able to create a custom resolution in the Nvidia Control Panel. In the Change Resolution tab, right under the list is a "Customize" button. Just be sure to get your refresh rate correct (check your screen manual if you have it/Google it) if you exceed that exciting artifacts can appear, or you can begin your journey into monitor overclocks! Hope this helps.

Go to Display > Advanced display settings > Display adapter properties > List All Modes. Your resolution might show up there.

If it doesn't show up there, you can force a resolution through nvidia control panel. On the left menu, go to Display > Change resolution. Click Customize... and check the box which says "enable resulotions not exposed by the display".
The rest should be self explanatory.

I found some solution about creating custom resolution and now it's normal (I guess). But I think I might have found the cause. In the resolution menu, my PC detects my display as generic noon-Pnp monitor. Also, I'm using a DVI adapter because the GPU has no VGA slot and my monitor only supports VGA.

Turned the computer off, unplug everything as I went to take a bath and to take dinner. When I get back and turn my computer on, still no luck. I think I'm gonna buy a new cable.

Well I managed to solved the problem. I bought a DVI cable and plugged it directly to my GPU as I was using a DVI-VGA adapter before.
