Hey guys quick question!
If you're having an 120hz screen will it be using more processing power thn a 60hz screen? Or is that dedicated to the GPU?
It will use practically no more CPU power, unless you have an iGPU you are using. It will pretty much all go to the GPU.
Well thanks then! :D
Actually it won't affect the CPU or the GPU. The refresh rate is handled by the monitor itself. The only thing that has anything to do with the CPU/GPU is being able to run games at 120 fps in order to take advantage of the 120hz display's full potential.
Wrong, the GPU will run warmer on 120hz at idle than a 60hz screen, it has to work harder to push those extra 60fps...
if you run your gpu at 60 hz, it wont use any different processing power... if you run your gpu at 120hz it will use more.
