which of the DVI connectors can support high 120hz or above monitors?

DVI-A 4+8+5 pins
DVI-D (single link) 9+9+1 pins
DVI-D (dual link) 24+1 pins
DVI-I (singe link) 9+9+5 pins
DVI-I (dual link) 24+5 pins

DVI-A is analog-only and serves no purpose other than use with passive DVI-to-VGA adapters. I am not sure any GPU card has ever been made with one of those.

DVI-D is digital-only.

DVI-I is analog + digital but you can only use one mode at a time and the analog mode serves no purpose other than passive DVI-to-VGA adapters.

For 120Hz, you need to use dual-link and there is no difference between DVI-I and DVI-D for that.
