    Default In the market for a new 120mhz monitor and Graphics Card

    Heres a GTX 570 http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...ce,2793-5.html

    and reading these wow benches

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...scrollFullInfo

    My current setup is an i7 920 ocd 3.6ghz, 2 60 hz monitors, single GTX285, and ssd. I am looking for suggestions for both the vid card and a monitor upgrade specifically 120mhz monitors.

    I believe that 3D in games is a joke, also, newegg reviews are horrible.

    Also, you could just add another 285 and a 60hz monitor (assuming they all match) and have Nvidia surround. (Three monitors, a la eyefinity).

    Keep in mind ALL those reviews are people running a single client.

    I think I will look into this though:

    120MHz?! That's a lotta hertz!

    I'm curious what 120Hz brings to the table over 60Hz in gaming?

    The gimmick of 3D gaming.

    Using shutter glasses, the monitor, in conjunction with the glasses will alternate images for each eye so you get a 3D image.

    Not interested in the 3d. I want the higher refresh rate for 2d.

    Anyone here running 2 x 120 Hz monitors that could make a recommendation?

    http://www.100fps.com/how_many_frame...humans_see.htm

    Sure is unclear exactly how much is enough and how much more is worthless.


    You would need a ping of under 10ms to take advantage of a pvp positioning advantage so I guess no reason to go to 120Hz for that lol ....

    I'm curious as well as to why you would want 120hz monitors for anything other than 3D/option of 3D gaming.
