Is desktop 120hz / software 120hz separate?
A simple question.

Before I thought all games would tunnel through whatever choice we make on an OS level but in the end I guess the desktop/windows is just an equal to videogames as in, the software running on screen takes 100% control of the monitor settings?

It's not:

Game 120hz option --> Desktop/OS 120hz option --> Monitor --> Eyes

but simply:

Game 120hz option --> Monitor --> Eyes
Desktop 120hz option --> Monitor --> Eyes

Edit:
I'm asking because if games are filtered through the choice we make on an OS level that would kind of make it (game 120hz option) redundant and an unnecessary step almost.
