    I can't seem to find a definitive answer to the question so I thought I should post my inquiry here:


    Can the ATI 6970M inside of my NP8150 push 120Hz to a monitor or not?

    So I would have to find a monitor that accepted had a displayport interface?


    Note: I don't care about any of the 3D features, I just want a screen refresh of 120hz.

    Hang on.. One problem, the way the clevo's are wired there is NO display-port output. If the only thing that the 6970m can push @120hz is Displayport then thats an issue.

    Only the Clevo P170HM3 has display-port enabled and thats ONLY to the built in LCD (120HZ), thats why its a different BIOS and board layout for the 3d model, no other clevo has Displayport wired up, its disconnected on the board.

    Ahhh I see, I guess 120Hz is not in my near future.

    Thank you both for your help!
