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).
