I have my gtx970 connected to a hdtv via hdmi cable. When I go to nvidia control panel to change the resolution, it lists under pc 1280x720 native resolution.

I do have the option to set the resolution to match my tv (1920x1080) and pretty sure the gtx970 was supposedly able to handle resolutions beyond that, so whats this native resolution?

It depends on the TV.

Note that it says the pc's native resolution, not the display...

Native resolution depends on your display (TV).

The PC (graphics card) just does all the work and throws it at the display for viewing.

I can have a 1080p, 1440p, or 4K...doesn't matter on the PC.

This, a PC doesn't have a native resolution, it will always adapt to the cable and screen you have connected.
