Have been looking for a fix for this since two days ago and after a good number of hours searching I finally decided to make a post about this. So as the title says in the NVIDIA settings panel there is no option for any resolution above 1920x1080 for my 2560x1440 monitor. Under additional drivers I have tried both proprietary NVIDIA drivers(331.113 & 331.113-updates), as well as Nouveau display drivers. Under NVDIDA x server settings I've tried changing the ViewportIn to 2560x1440 instead of 1920x1080, It does make the things on screen smaller (to scale as if it actually was the right resolution) but does not increase the resolution. Also my monitor is plugged into my card using the HDMI connector. I appreciate any help and would be incredibly grateful to anyone whom could help me solve this issue. Thanks!
EDIT!! About halfway down the page!

Please let me know if there is anything else you'd like me to type into the console in order to resolve this issue, or to shed more light on what the problem is!

Okay!! Something really funny happened while I was following another users forum post. This is what I tried:

After this command my screen adjusted and now looks like it's 2560x1440. One would think I'd be set, but no! For whatever reason it's all just scaled to look like it's 1440p, it's still just as blurry as it was at 1080p. And the blurriness is not my monitor, my windows 8.1 OS looks nice and crisp! If anyone has any suggestions they'd be more than little welcome!
