I got this club 3d adapter to get 120 hz on my Xbox series x. It is compatible and my Xbox now says it displays 120 frames. My question is would I get better quality from a 4 k montor running at 1080p and 120 fps? Or am I good with this cable. I want the best performance at 1080p 120 hz for gaming, thanks!
You got the CAC-1085 working on an Xbox series X? Very interesting as Xbox only has HDMI. This adapter only supports DisplayPort to HDMI.
If you want to game on 1080P 120FPS I recommend to purchase.

You won’t increase the quality if you get a 4K monitor running at 1080P 120Hz.
However if you get a 4K120Hz screen you will need a certified HDMI cable like the https://www.club-3d.com/en/detail/2460/ultra_high_speed_hdmi_4k120hz_8k60hz_certified_cable_48gbps_m-m_2_m_-_6.56_ft/
No need for an adapter then.
I’ve run my Series X at 1080p/120 on a 1080p monitor and on a 4K panel. On the 4K, 1080p looked a bit softer unless the display had proper 1:1 or integer scaling, and input lag was slightly higher. I also used an HDMI to DP active adapter on a DP-only monitor, 120 Hz worked but VRR didn’t and I saw occasional signal drops. For the cleanest 1080p/120, a native 1080p 120/144 monitor with HDMI has been most reliable for me.
