With all versions of the binary closed-source nVidia driver up to nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676-r1 & nvidia-glx-1.0.7676-r2 in Gnome: Desktop -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution, there are available refresh rates over 85Hz (100, 120 etc.) as my monitor correctly configured in xorg.conf, supports them. By emerging any 1.0.8xxx version of nvidia-kernel & nvidia-glx, without changing anything else, all refresh rates above 85Hz disappear.
Supplemental: By reverting back to nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676-r1 & nvidia-glx-1.0.7676-r2, refresh rates above 85Hz are again available.
Under your "Device" section, try adding: Option "IgnoreEDID" "1" Does that fix it?

However, it was nowhere documented in the changes applied to nVdia driver 1.0.8xxx that the driver ignores lines as the following: Section "Monitor" Identifier "My Monitor" HorizSync 30-115 VertRefresh 50-160 DisplaySize 365 274 Option "DPMS" Modeline "1024x768@120" 166.71 1024 1056 1688 1720 768 780 795 807 +hsync +vsync Modeline "1152x864@100" 143.472 1152 1232 1360 1568 864 865 868 915 +hsync +vsync Modeline "1280x960@100" 178.992 1280 1376 1520 1760 960 961 964 1017 +hsync +vsync Modeline "1600x1200@85" 300.92 1600 1632 2768 2800 1200 1222 1239 1261 +hsync +vsync EndSection in the monitor. You see, my monitor is one of the cases that supplies wrong DDC information. Until now, version of the driver up to 1.0.7xxx, did not need any special options to take into account manually entered horizontal & vertical refresh ranges and/or modelines/scanlines. It seems that from version 1.0.8xxx and up, the driver needs to be notified with that option to take into account all the above information. So I think it would be prudent to add a notification line at the end of the emerge process for all 1.0.8xxx nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx e-builds saying something like the following: "CAUTION!" "If your monitor supplies wrong DDC information and/or you want to supply manually horizontal and vertical refresh rate ranges and/or modelines/scanlines, you must add the following line to the "Device" Section of your xorg.conf file:" "Option "IgnoreEDID" "1"" Once more, thank you very much. Bug is resolved.
