good question. i have no idea, but you can find out with command;
]$ lspci
which will list all of your pci hardware, among which will/should/may
be your graphics chip.
]$ lshw|less
will give you a complete hardware listing. "less" is because it is a
long listing and it will finish before you see what you want to. :)

i was not familiar with the amd a8-3850 cpu/gpu. a quick search via
ixquick.com [i am thru with gobble and their tracking] to find out a
little more about the cpu/gpu chip. nothing to say how it appears.
amd now owns ati, so your driver ?should? be correct. or so i would
imagine, because i see no reason for things to be different.
here is the full listing of what i have in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file;

*note* my monitor is not maxed at 1280x1024, but i set it that way
because if i go higher, text/type gets too small to read.
i do not know if 'horzSynic' and 'vertRefresh' are necessary, but i put
them anyway.
what you may want/need to do is look up your monitor to see for sure what
it can do.
as for the "Screen" section, "Modes" are what my graphics card can do.
i tend to believe that you will need to have capabilities listed. if
not listed, you may not get what you want.
something you might try is changing "1680x1050_60.00" to just
"1680x1050" to see what happens.
a few years/releases back, there was an "x" command that would read your
hardware and set up the xorg.conf file. i do not recall the name of it,
but i believe it has been pulled for reasons of determining setup with
another way. i do not recall 'new way', perhaps someone else reading
your thread may help on that.
later.
