Ask the Experts: I want to buy a new monitor, but would I need a new GPU if I bought a 120Hz monitor?

By: (more) | Displays & Projectors News | Posted: Feb 15, 2013 8:33 am

Our Ask the Experts section has a new question, with Drugsh wanting to know if he should buy a 120Hz-capable monitor of no.

 

TweakTown's Ask the Experts

 

Q: I am looking for good 27-inch monitor for gaming and movies... since I'm using Sapphire's Radeon HD 7870 XT GPU, I am very confused between 60Hz or 120Hz monitors... but my real question is, can the HD 7870 XT provide 120 frames per second?

 

I can't afford a better GPU, so it really worth a 120H monitor upgrade? Which monitor should I go for in both segments?

 

A: You can view the answer to Drugsh's question right here.
