Are you able to set the preferred rate via xrandr? I.e.
xrandr -r 60.0 -s 1680x1050
If so, you could stick that in your .xsessionrc file.
Alternatively, try this in your xorg.conf:
Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Device0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 Option "TwinView" "0" Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "CRT-0" Option "metamodes" "1680x1050_60 +0+0; nvidia-auto-select +0+0" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1680x1050_60" EndSubSection EndSection
Further, make sure you do not have a ~/.config/monitors.xml file (it won't work with nvidia).
