The Nvidia drivers use different settings for the refresh rates than the standard xorg settings. You need to edit the device section of your xorg.conf file and add the options

Option "HorizSync" range

and

Option "VertRefresh" range

Here is how I have mine set up.

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "GeForceFX 5700 Ultra"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    #VideoRam    131072
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate

Option "HorizSync" 
Option "VertRefresh" "60"
Option   "UseEdidDpi"   "FALSE"
Option   "DPI"   "96 x 96"
Option   "DPMS"
#Option "RenderAccel" "true" 
#Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true" 
Option "Coolbits" "1"
