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.
