So, I was just looking around in my nvidia control panel and I came across 2 categories of resolution. "PC" and "HD, Ultra HD" ( See images) It seems as though they are the same except one runs at 144hz and one runs at 120hz. What are the other differences of the two?

I never figured out why they're grouped that way, but 1080p is 1080p. 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

None besides refresh rate, go for the 144hz mode man!

That's strange why one refresh rate is lower than the other, but thanks for the incite.

Considering how it's grouped, it probably has more to do with how Nvidia groups certain resolutions to certain selections for certain reasons, probably to make it easier when running your card on a TV. Just run at 144Hz.

HD section is for formats using CTA-861 timing (TV standardized formatting). It's a technical detail that doesn't affect anything and doesn't matter. I don't know why NVIDIA groups them that way (and then doesn't even display the parameters that make them different). But basically it doesn't matter, it just means the refresh rate options will be split into two different menu options, since 144 Hz isn't a CTA standard format.
