This is from the Gigabyte web page. Download this file.

That file is available when you click the "More Information" at the bottom of this page.

The resolution is programmable in hardware. The table in the manual is not
fixed by the hardware. The driver software makes those settings programmable
and a new driver can change the values.

For instances where the drivers do not list support for a particular
resolution, you can use Powerstrip. But I don't think that is necessary
in this case. I would use the standard Nvidia software first, and try and
set it up.

This is the "Custom Resolution Primer".

As well as Powerstrip, the Nvidia control panel frequently has a
"Custom Resolution" dialog box as well. So it can be used to
set resolutions not in the chart.

So you do have options, if the standard software doesn't work for you.
