Hello,
im currently playing on my shitty notebook with like 50 ms delay, so i thought about testing a 120 hz monitor with 1 ms reaction time.
My problem is the notebook which doenst exhibit the DVI Port, so i decided to connect the monitor (which has HDMI, DVI and VGA) over VGA.
Would I get 120 Hz over VGA with the resolution 1024 * 768?
Should i buy a VGA to VGA cable, or can I alternatively use the "dvi to vga"- adapter, coz there is already a "dvi to dvi"-cable in the package.
Thanks in advance.

One is in the cpu, the other one is Radeon 6770M.
Whats do u think about it?
They say thats impossible to get over 100hz and 1080p with vga, but its not the case if u only wanna set1024 * 768.
It might have impact on the picture quality but i dont care. In my case its all about to get 120 hz via VGA.
That means its possible to get more as 60 Hz over VGA.
The question is only how much hz is max possible by the resolution 1024 * 768?
SOme years ago many of us used CRT monitors and got 100 Hz via VGA.
So why should there be the problem of getting the same amount of Hz by connection to a TFT monitor?
I guess 75hz via VGA shouldn't be a problem on an LCD or a TFT monitor. Picture quality might suffer though.
thats true if u wanna use 3D and 1080p. But Im talking about 1024 * 768 resolution.
Could u PLEASE test if VGA can handle 100 hz on this monitor.
I donno about others but I doubt my can do it.
EDIT: well, maybe not on your monitor since it does not have DP
Why would a non-native resolution introduce more lag? I know the picture wont have a nice quality but the responce time should be the same for every possible resolution. Plz correct me if im wrong.
In other words, if you're going to play a game at 1024 * 768, your monitor will display 1920 * 1080 regardless. It's a static amount and the image being sent to the monitor needs to be reprocessed to fit the screen. Which adds extra calculation processes that are a massive source of various lags. Though, there are more recent displays that try to battle this by boxing the image rather than scaling it to the screen. How exactly this works or is supposed to help, I have no idea, it's been a few years since I last read up on it.
One of the many reasons I never understood these claims of LCDs running at 75hz in lower resolutions supposedly producing better results. (read: all hail the mighty placebo that is the greater refresh rate)
Pretty much the same reason you don't want to change your windows default sense from 6/11, ever,.
If there is really some kind of lag using the non native resolution so how would u measere this in time? I mean the delay wont be so high and will still yield a much better game experience as playing with 60 Hz and native resolution.
Anyhow, there are few "tests" you could run yourself, PixPerAn being one of them:

Otherwise I suggest consulting the people on prad.de's forum or any other community of your liking that's more specialized towards monitors, if you're looking for genuine and specific advice.
Yes, you can easily get 120hz over a VGA connection. Old CRT monitors were all connected with VGA and had no problems at all with 120hz. It just depends on the monitor in question if it will be able to handle a signal that is output at that frequency.
