So I just installed ArchLinux, and I have been learning a bit. I am using KDE and my GPUs are two GTS 450s, I decided to install the nvidia drivers, but no matter what I change in my xorg.conf file, I cannot get my screen to set beautifully to my monitors native resolution which is 1440 by 900, and I'm stuck at 640x480. I have no clue what to do now, just kinda burnt out since I've been working a lot, I just need some help. Also my monitor is a ViewSonic VA1703wb.
Here is my xorg.conf currently:

I don't know much about nvidia cards but what drivers did you install?

Have you run nvidia-settings?
Any errors in the logs?
What's the output of xrandr?
