You have a friend who is offering to sell the monitor and video card from his gaming system along
with several PC games. The games have fast-moving graphics, and you want to be able to play
them on your own home system. The monitor he is selling is an LCD TN with a 144-Hz refresh rate.
The video card he is selling supports a max refresh rate of 144 Hz. You're sure you want to buy the
games, but you have a couple of other choices when it comes to the monitor and the video card.
The monitor in your current system has a 60-Hz refresh rate. The video card has a max refresh rate
of 75 Hz. This configuration has always worked fine for watching videos. You're also looking at new
60-Hz LCD IPS monitors and several high-end video cards with max refresh rates of up to 240 Hz.
Which of the following will MOST likely allow you to play the games on your home system with the
best gaming experience possible?
Correct Answer:
Buy your friend's games, monitor, and video card. Swap out both your video card and monitor.
