120hz vga monitor

[UniCorNXD]

So I found out that my old vga monitor actully has 120hz refresh rate. I want to know on what resolution will I need to play to achive 120hz, and if it would work with hdmi to vga adapter or should I use another one?

please help but you dont need to hurry because I dont have a PC yet, probally buying one used from amazon in next 2 weeks.


Thanks!

If the monitor utilizes 120hz via VGA; you'll just need to play around with the resolutions to figure out what one works best. For example; I had a 120hz monitor that only ran said refresh rate at a resolution close to 1600x1200.

Given VGA's low bandwidth it would be a lower resolution. I'd need to see the specs of the monitor to know for sure. Also there is a chance using a digital to analog converter converter would remove the option.

It did for my buds BenQ XL27 monitor (1440p 144hz). He bought the monitor before he upgraded his GPU so he tried running a converter and it didn't work. He was able to squeeze out a 1080 resolution via VGA @ 100hz on a different monitor (ASUS VG24 I believe), however.

i have some old monitor, haven't tried with a converter.

But I will be still able to squeze out like 85hz or just try playing csgo on lower resolution, because monitor supports bunch of them.
