    That sends me back to when people in online discussions regularly claimed anything above 60 fps is pointless because the human eye can‘t see more than that anyway

      That claim is such a pet peeve of mine. That’s not even how our eyes work, and it’s demonstrably untrue.

      It can even be proven false by rapidly moving the mouse cursor across the screen very quickly and the lack of motion blur.

        Even of the eye notices it, it’s not really a big deal most of the time unless you play some real time multiplayer game, and going from 60 to 120 literally doubles the amount of frames that the GPU needs to process, thus raising the GPU requirement for no fucking reason 99% of the time.
