When my GPU is on its native monitor resolution, 1920×1080, the max refresh rate I can get is 60 hertz, but when I change the resolution to 1024×768, I can get 120 hertz. I am playing CS:GO on the Benq XL2420TEm which supports 144 Hz.
Is there any way I can change my monitor's resolution to 1024×768 and the refresh rate to 120 Hz when I start the game?

To force a particular program to launch with user defined properties like in Counter Strike, you can set the desired parameters in Set launch options.
Open Steam, right-click Counter Strike, then go to Properties. Search for Set launch options and type
-freq (desired refresh rate)like-freq 75.I am not sure if you can set resolution along with refresh rate. If so, add it to the launch options; otherwise just set manually the resolution as desired from the video options, which is also permanent as said earlier.
