Those logs don't appear to have been generated under the same
conditions.  You've got a verbose 'nv' driver log, and a non-verbose
nvidia driver log.  However, it looks fairly obvious that the nvidia
driver failed to validate most of your modes because your vrefresh or
hsync values were out of the range required by the EDID of your
display.

Right.  If you'd like further assistance, please start X with the
following command (for the nvidia driver):
startx -- -logverbose 6

and then generate and provide an nvidia-bug-report.log.
