    There is no point to it since HD5870M doesn't support stereo 3D right now, and even then who actually wants to game with those goofy glasses? Overall detail and quality also drops significantly.

    Well 120hz just feels better in general, especially in FPS. Since LCDs dont refresh like a CRT, you wont notice it being that much smoother like as if going from 60hz to 120hz on a CRT would.

    But the feeling of the game, and your inputs would overall feel smoother. This all has nothing to do with 3d. Now with that said, 120hz LCD computer monitors are barely available as it is. So I wouldnt expect to see it in that many laptops.
