A new GPU would definitely help. Intel is not very flexible with custom resolutions, and I don't have any solutions for Intel GPUs.

NVIDIA is the most flexible when it comes to custom resolutions because you can also use their control panel. The GTX 970 and most other NVIDIA cards have a DVI-I port, so all you'd need is a simple passive DVI-VGA adapter.

AMD R9 290 cards don't have analog support, so you'd need an active adapter that acts as a converter, which might have trouble with higher pixel clocks. Older AMD/ATI cards usually have a DVI-I port, so you can use a passive adapter with those.
