Is it pointless to get 60+ FPS on a 60hz monitor?

My question is in the title. I have a monitor that is 60Hz. Because I guess v-sync can help lower down the the GPU temperature.

not really . . can get 60+ FPS but not sure to get it everytime. . . 60 hz monitor do create issues when go on higher resolutions . .

I wouldn't say pointless, but it stops visual tearing from being noticed. The idea is not to drop below 60fps, what is over is neither here or there with v-sync on because refresh rate is now locked to frame rate.

Yes. If it cant comfortably do more than 60fps, then it wont be able to v-sync at 60fps all the time. If it can only just do 60fps then there will be dips and drops.
