Just noticing this thread, and I'm seeing the same thing with world of 
warcraft, and similar xrandr output:

Screen 0: minimum 3200 x 1080, current 3200 x 1080, maximum 3200 x 1080
default connected 3200x1080+0+0 0mm x 0mm
    3200x1080      50.0*

This may have something to do with the xorg.conf generated by the nvidia 
configuration tool, which does not contain any resolution information. 
It has the following Screen section:

Section "Screen"
     Identifier     "Screen0"
     Device         "Device0"
     Monitor        "Monitor0"
     DefaultDepth    24
     Option         "TwinView" "1"
     Option         "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-0"
     Option         "metamodes" "DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select +1920+0, 
DFP-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
     SubSection     "Display"
         Depth       24
     EndSubSection
EndSection

If I'm reading the manpage correctly (man xorg.conf) the 'Display' 
subsection should have one or more 'Modes' lines describing allowed 
screen resolutions. Nvidia doesn't generate any, and I'm not sure the 
directive is supported here by nvidia at all. Nvidia may have more 
documentation, but I don't particularly feel like going to look for it 
right now.

Remember, when changing the xorg.conf, you will then need to restart 
your X server (or the entire machine) to apply the changes.
