Yeah, that's another nvidia oddities ; you need to disable the GPU
scaling in nvidia-settings or add a line like:
Option         "FlatPanelProperties" "Scaling = Centered"

in the Screen section.

Some of the stuff you learn playing with the nvidia config.

No idea why if you have GPU scaling, then only 60Hz seems to work

This is not a resolution that falls into any standard ... So there's
no unique modeline for that one
