Holy crap. I spend money on a video card, but my monitor has to be awesome too, else I'll still lag in games?
This is getting depressing.
I have a 4-5 year old Gateway monitor, that will only reach 85HZ (With 1024 by 768). I don't totally understand all of this, so I just wrote it down, 'case someone else does...
HF 81.2KHz
VF 100.0HZ
Operating Frequency
HF: 30-70KHZ
VF: 50-160HZ
Like I said, I can only get it to go to 85HZ. Could someone explain to me what all of this means? Will I be spending money on a tower, only to then have to shell out yet another 100-200 dollars on another peice of hardware? It'd be nice to know before I send in my order at Newegg.
Edit: Can go higher, with lower res. Still, highest I got the refresh rate was 100 hertz.
