I definitely don't play with anything near 120 and it doesn't bother me. I suppose it's something that once you start paying attention to you notice haha.

When you regularly start playing at >120hz you definitely notice when stuff is playing at lower than 60hz

Like it sounds snobby but I can’t play stuff at lower than 100hz ish otherwise I somehow get motion sick from it

You would honestly probably be fine after a short while with lower frame rates. Guaranteed you used to game at those slower frame/refresh rates and never knew better.

I absolutely agree there's still benefit to be had above 60, but 60 is still mostly fine. Unless I guess all you do is ultra competitive gaming where twitch reactions are necessary.

Yeah, you're just used to it.

And my wallet is no doubt thankfully for it. As long as my old GTX1660 keeps chugging on I'll keep gaming at ?Hz on my ????p monitor lol
