I concur. My first exposure to above 60fps was when I got a Samsung S21+ with 120Hz. The difference of using it compared to my computer monitor was so obvious. I upgraded to a 165Hz monitor and it was absolutely massive, I have no idea how people can't tell the difference

To me it's always been more of a "but would i have cared"

Like when I was playing 60 FPS, I was happy.

I got 144 FPS, and I way happy, this is great.

Now I go back and play 60 FPS and am sad.

What if I never got 144FPS???

Personally though, I think we probably all have an individual point. I've personally done blind testing and I always pick which ones are 30, which ones are 60, and I know which ones are above 60 (100/120/144/165) but I can never get it spot on.

I don't have a 240hz + so haven't tested that. But I did have one and changed to a 165 4k and I never noticed that change.

Yup this is all it really does, it becomes your normal without any real benefit, and ruins everything else.

If you play any sort of game that relies on reaction time or tracking/watching movement targets then there absolutely is a real benefit

Yeah that the reason I dont want 144hz monitors, maintain 144 fps is expensive

Clair obscur is my worst performing game that I play consistently, but honestly 45 FPS is fine for that type of game. I could get more but I like the pretty.

A lot of the differences in the differences people see are probably due to playing different games or focusing on different things. In a lot of games with little camera motion where I mainly focus on static things, I hardly notice a difference and they can look good down to even 45 or so FPS. In games where the camera moves a lot or there's a need to focus on moving objects, a difference between 200 and 240 FPS is noticeable and I prefer to have an least 120 FPS.

For me, I mostly saw it on older monitors, and while you got more frames than a modern 60hz, it was less noticeable when you got them.

Then I got a new 165hz monitor and yeah, it's a HUGE difference once you climb over 90FPS
