nvidia-settings allows for lots of different options on my internal 1400x1050 
LCD with the following line in the "Device" section for my nvidia card:

Option          "ModeValidation" "NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck,NoVertRefreshCheck,NoHorizSyncCheck,AllowNon60HzDDFPModes,NoEdidMaxPClkCheck"

I didn't bother to find which of this options is sufficient, but I think that 
perhaps NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck might already do the trick.
