46" Tv hurt fps?

[Pgooch]

I have a 46" Samsung LCD 120 Hz 1080p TV I will be playing on will that put more stress to my gpu?

If you setup your GPU to do 120fps refresh, it is going to rob ~500MB/sec of memory bandwidth for extra screen refreshing, which should have almost no impact on most modern GPUs.

As opposed to what? The only thing that matters is the resolution of the screen, not the actual physical size. If you played games on a 5" 1920x1080 resolution screen vs. a 200' 1920x1080 resolution screen the performance is going to be the same.

Well, that's not really true. A 120hz TV does not receive 120hz worth of info. They still receive only 60hz of info, and the TV creates a filler frame.

Depends on the exact TV model and which cable type he used. Some LCDs actually do support 120Hz refresh over DVI-D.

Never seen one with a DL-DVI-D connection (or any DVI-D). Technically it's possible, but until someone actually shows me one, it's still a myth.

Not currently. HDMI, atm, doesn't accept 120hz except through HD3d over 720p. At least, it didn't used to. I do know a new standard is about to be entered into circulation, but I am unaware of any that have yet.

edit: I realize that 120hz TV's use HDMI, but none that I've ever heard of or seen actually accept 120hz of input. What they do is except 60hz and add filler frames.
