Display Timing Standards
Description
GTF is an older but widely used timing standard. However, newer display are
switching to the CVT standard.
DMT is a set of pre-defined VESA timings. VESA updates this standard every
year. If DMT timing is available for a specific mode, the NVIDIA display driver
normally selects it instead of GTF.
CVT became the VESA standard on March 2003. CVT supports higher
resolutions better than other timing standards.
CVT-RB improves on the CVT standard. CVT-RB offers reduced horizontal and
vertical blanking periods and allows a lower pixel clock rate and higher frame
rates.
EDID timing is the preferred timing standard defined by the display's EDID
value. EDID is a standard data structure that defines the display's model
number, timing, and other settings.
Note: Manufacturer-defined EDIDs are available only on Plug-and-Play (PnP)-
compatible displays.
