What is the point of FPS past 60?

Real life is 90 fps at most so I can understand that, but 144 is just overkill to be honest
Luke Campbell
Play everything at 120, and you'll soon notice just how choppy 60 is. I think going into the 200s might be overkill though. I still haven't experienced that, so I can't rightly say.

Nothing of your monitor can refresh as fast.
Lincoln Long
it looks smoother but has diminishing returns the higher you go
if 60 looks good to you just stop there
Jackson Robinson
The human eye can't comprehend more than 22 frames per second, so anyone who pretends there's a difference between 30 and 60 fps is lying. 22's all you need.
Hudson Powell
Looks nice.

What is the point of eating shit?

Back in CRT days, when people had control over their resolutions and frame rates and could lower their resolution to obtain higher frame rate if needed, people considered 90-100 to be the ideal frame rate for FPS games which were recognized as benefiting from higher frame rates as compared to other kinds of games which would generally do just as well a bit lower. Above this made no noticeable difference, so you may as well improve graphics. Such was the accepted standard of the time and it was agreed upon universally by all of the peoples.
Then came the bad days of LCDs, with their bleeding backlights, native resolutions, and 60 hertz maximum frame rate. The people became accustomed to garbage and then were convinced to suffer even worse with their 30 frame rate console trash. This was a major setback, as now the argument was shifted to the 30 camp and the 60 camp, the 90-100 standard having been almost entirely forgotten.
Finally, as technology improved the inferior display technology of LCD was able to catch back up to a crude approximation of what acceptable visuals a CRTs could do all along, with led backlighting recovering some of the way towards the true blacks, with higher pixel density allowing for some lower resolution options that did not look that bad, and higher refresh rates which enabled people to break the decades long 60 frame rate prison.
But at this point people had forgotten what they were fighting for, accustomed to the limitations of LCD screens they had lost all grounding as to what and why certain frame rates were even important, and developed a blind dogmatic view that more is simply better.
I will now tell you what you need.
For FPS or any fast paced game you want a stable 90-100 frame rate, and it must never drop below 75. If you can accomplish this you have obtained the optimal, more does nothing, increase your graphical settings.
For any other game 60 fps is fine
30 is the point that it starts to look like shit even in slow games.
