Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Open a terminal and run xrandr. If that resolution is supported, it should show up in the list.
If it's not in the list, it might be a driver problem. The arch wiki page on xrandr is really useful, and should help you out.

thank you very much.
it's a little complex, I say that's why (for me) Linux is still not my top 1 os.

The Arch wiki is amazing.
Maybe you should cut your teeth on Ubuntu or Linux Mint? I've had the best "out of the box" zero-configuration Linux experiences with Mint. Your mileage may vary.
Note: I use Debian

Linux's complexity will lead you to learn useful skills in other OS's as well.

I learned on Debian and honestly am glad I did. Forcing me to use the CLI versus mind numbing GUI's but I understand Ubuntu and variants have their place.
