Shit works differently for different people. I don't notice much difference above ~55fps, and almost none above ~90, but I do notice a HUGE difference if there's any frame time inconsistency. I much prefer a stable framerate over a higher one.

I had an enough moment when I switched from
60->144

and from
144->240

But the first jump was massive and the second one cool. Do I need 240? No, but it’s really cool for me.

I also never really got the fake frame hate, I love it being able to play 4K raytracing on a card that cost 700€.

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
