• General Timing Formula (GTF) is an older but widely used timing standard.
However, newer display are switching to the CVT standard.
• Discrete Monitor Timings (DMT) timing 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 the GTF standard.
• Coordinated Video Timings (CVT) became the VESA standard on March 2003.
CVT supports higher resolutions better than other timing standards.
