Resolution and Refresh Rate Problems

I recently switched from an AMD card (MSi R9 280X Gaming) to a Nvidia Card (GB GTX 770 WF)
Now, I'm pretty sure I have deleted all drivers relating to AMD besides the USB Driver, because I thought that might had to do with the Motherboard or the CPU (FX-8350).

Anyway another factor, is that my monitor is 1920x1200...
Now when I had my AMD GPU I could run 1920x1080 60Hz no problem at all, and I'm pretty sure it was Progressive.
Now on the Nvidia Control Panel I can't select anything higher than 60Hz, and even when I do choose, it won't let me choose Progressive I must choose Interlaced, and even then, it still doesn't let me choose 60Hz.

And in Assassin's Creed IV it also doesn't let me go above 1280x720@60Hz....

Sigh please help 🙁
 
Refresh rate is a function of your monitor (which by the way you gave no info. on). Most until recently were all 60Hz. Some of the newer ones are 120Hz or higher. Whatever your panel is native to is what it will run at. Resolution is also optimized at some native value. You can run lower and some software will let you force higher but it is the native resolution that will fill the screen and look best. From your comments it does sound like you are using a TV for a monitor. If so you may need to adjust the resolution from the TV menu.
 
It won't let me adjust it, and the monitor is a Sanyo 1920x1200@60Hz I'm 100% sure it's 60Hz, if not 59Hz
I just want to know why I can't put 1920x1080 on Assassin's Creed IV (or anything above 1280x720@60Hz since the game doesn't give me the option) and why Nvidia Control Panel doesn't let me go above 30Hz at all
 
Ok so you do not want to provide the model number of the display. Fair enough however then there is no way to check the specs to see what it is or is not capable of displaying. Since the AMD card worked (I think you imply this) then use it as the difference in performance between the two is very slight and more dependent on what game is being played. Even then we are talking about a few frames either way. Also possible that you deleted something that was perhaps needed. You did not mention how or what tool you used to remove the AMD drivers. So good luck with this issue and maybe keep the forum updated how things turn out.
 
I'm sorry but I don't know the model
It's a sanyo full hd and I'm sure of every thing I just told you, if it's not 60Hz it's 59Hz, it's definitely 1920x1200, I even measured and it is infact 16:10 and it also says the same thing when I plug it via vga, however, I no longer have the adapter since I had to switch cards, and this card only brought power extensions...

I'm sorry about the small info but I think it's enough if the problem is checking the specs, these are the specs, the only thing I'm unsure is if it's 59Hz or 60Hz, as for progressive I checked on the PS3 and it supported 1080p, I also only have tearing on games if they themselves have that (CoD4 I have none at high fps, no promod)
As for unistall of amd drivers, basic uninstall, there were 4 options: HDMI Audio Driver, CCC, USB driver and AMD GPU acceleration driver.
Unistalled all but the USB like I said...

Now is there anything else you need? I really jsut want answers not more questions, I already gave you everything you asked
