Can the GTX 1060 play games at 120hz?

[PandaBear88]

Can a computer with a GTX 1060 play all games at 120hz (or above 60hz)?
Processor: Intel Core i5-3570K CPU @ 3.4 GHz
8 GB RAM
64-bit OS
Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 1060 WINDFORCE OC 6G
games are on a SSD
Thanks

I assume you are talking about 1080p? Yes it's a very good 1080p video card.

Yes, but it depends on the game and the game settings.

Most newer games would require you to drop the graphics significantly to game at 120FPS.

Update:
(to be clear you can't play "all" games at 120FPS even on the lowest settings. The lowest settings on some games is still going to be closer to 60FPS)

There.
Go through each of the games and you'll see what the FPS is going to be at the high/ultra settings.

(The first one I linked is very demanding so even at only 1080p its going to give only about 42FPS, though you'd likely drop the settings down to maintain a solid 60FPS to avoid screen tearing on a normal 60Hz monitor)

Yeah no doubt you'd have to settle for medium settings in a lot of games

Thanks guys. Photonboy, the website you linked says the gtx 1060 can play GTA V at 74 fps. So would it be worth buying a 120hz tv for the extra 14 fps?

 

[CTurbo]

I would get the 144hz monitor because many games will go way over 60fps even on high/ultra.

I'm usually around 6+ feet from the screen though so need a big TV monitor. (I like to stand in front of the TV during the day and lay in bed with the TV at the foot at night)

Would a 120hz TV look good though?
