1080p, 1920x1080 @100hz / 1920x1080 @144hz

Hey ho let's go!

In the Nvidia Control panel there's '1080p, 1920x1080 @100hz' and '1920x1080 @144hz'.

The '1080p, 1920x1080 @100hz' resolution is under Ultra HD, HD, SD.

The '1920x1080 @144hz' resolution is under PC.

The problem is that I cannot figure out why the 1080p @100hz resolution cannot go higher than 100. They are both 1920x1080 so I am completely lost here.

Maybe there's more to it. A deeper meaning. What is this witchcraft?

No but seriously what's up with it not wanting to go higher than 100hz?
Thanks.

Yours truly,
Me

Might be dependent on the output the card uses. What card do you have, & what outputs does it have on it?

What's your monitor model & gpu?

You may need display port or dual dvi connections depending on your setup.

My monitor is an Acer XB270H and the card I use is an MSI GTX 970. They're connected using display port.
