DOS games, how do you play them ?

The only advantage are better 3D shutter tech and possibly even better response times. This said, I'm not a fan of ultralow response rates.

Uh, better refresh rates? There's a difference between 60 image updates per second, and 144 image updates per second beyond pixel response times.

for modern PC games, yes, but neither for DOS games, nor for console or arcade games.

Of course, that's why I wanted one, just wondered if 70hz fits better in 144hz than 60hz for DOSBox too because that would be a nice plus. Guessing that's a no.

So I guess that most games used Mode X ? ...

Please correct me if I'm wrong .

I was under the impression that Mode X was a bit of an undocumented hack and although lots of demo-scene stuff used it, not that many games actually did? Windows 95 could use it too I believe, but mode 13h was more common. Wikipedia says "Mode 13h was 320 × 200 @ 70 Hz, the most common mode for VGA-era PC games, uses exactly the same timings as the 640 x 400 mode, just halving the dot clock and displaying each line of pixels twice".
