Actually Linus Tech Tips did quite an in-depth video with different e-sport "pro" players with different setups using 60/144/240hz setups with different tests.
Results were pretty conclusive...higher fps gives better results across the board.
Link? Because that sounds pretty questionable at best. So, if they put pro players in front of monitors with randomly assigned refresh rates, these players could tell when it was 60, 75, 120, 144, 165, and 240? I doubt it.
What was their methodology? Do they have a write-up? I'd rather read it than slog through a video.
I'll believe it when there's a repeatable, provable process.
Next thing you'll say is that the eye can't see faster than 24fps
You'd better take your crystal ball in to the shop - it's giving you bad info.
Pumping unnecessarily high frames generates a lot of heat and wastes power. It's the computing equivalent of 1960's muscle cars... an illusion of superior performance wasting irreplaceable energy and filling the air with CO2 while bolstering fragile egos.
To be fair, you most certainly could feel the difference with the ridiculous gobs of torque those things produced. Of course, the tires, brakes, and suspensions of the day weren't up to that kind of abuse.
Naturally, with the progress of technology, those old cars are laughably inefficient for fuel usage, as well as the amount of power they produce per amount of displacement, compared to today's standards.
There were some odd outliers, in terms of efficiency, though, strangely enough.
