I'd imagine that it might be more a function of your video
card+drivers (nvidia binary?)+Xorg version than the distro

I know on a slightly outdated Ubuntu system (8.4 or 9.0, I can't quite
remember which) I get perfect full-res picture from an older  Nvidia
6600 card, even using a DVI->HDMI conversion cable.

Since the nvidia blob should be about the same for both the 6600 and
the 7300, I'd imagine it should work OK for you as well without too
much tweaking.
