It might but seeing that you have a nvidia card you can make custom resolutions in the nvidia control panel if it dose not work. Hope this helps

It's not a question of drivers. It depends on the original size of what you are displaying.
1920x1080 is a 1.7777 ratio (width divided by height). If the original has a different width to height ratio, then it has to be stretched to fill the screen.

That's what I mean... kinda. I think? I don't want a square to end up being a rectangle as it stretches to fill this new resolution screen. That's why I thought maybe a driver would let the card know that it's 1920 x 1080 resolution and add that to the pulldown option in the display menu.
But from the sounds of it, I should be okay without the stretching. Now just gotta decide on what monitors to get.

I'd like to buy 2 new ones and set them up as duals. 24"+ each.
I'd use Ultramon to set them up, so it'd be 1920 x 1080 per monitor.

Here's what 1280x1024 (1.25:1 ratio) and 1280x720 (1.77:1 ratio) look like onmy dusl monitor setup.
"Drivers" won't make the right screen look "not stretched".

1920x1080 is an option, it just may not show up with your current monitor. You'll have zero problems with it

1920x1080 is 16:9, 1080p same as TVs. It's appealing for that reason, and it's a much cheaper panel to cut during manufacturing, so it's appealing to LCD makers; that means lower cost per pixel.
