Changing GRUB and TTY Resolution

Hello, I wasn't sure where to put this so here seemed well enough I guess. I've searched around for a way to do this but have not found anything either concrete or straightforward. I've tried this GRUB/Tips and tricks and Uvesafb to no avail, nothing new ever happens upon reboot. I want GRUB and my TTY to display in a resolution that makes sense, preferably my monitor's native 2560x1440-32 instead of the current displaying of 800x600. Is there a preferred way of doing this or is what I tried pretty much it? And if those methods should have worked I would like help getting them to work. Any suggestions appreciated, and as usual ask away for any addition info you may need from me.

Re: Changing GRUB and TTY Resolution

Try loading KMS as early as possible in the boot process:

This should sort your TTY, not sure about GRUB though.

Re: Changing GRUB and TTY Resolution

Ah, unfortunately I am using the proprietary NVIDIA drivers, forgot to mention that, and don't have any particular desire to switch over to nouveau. Also I believe that that would only change my tty but not GRUB. Thanks though.
