which game is more enjoyable with 120+FPS instead of 6fps?

[saif_1996]

i heard games such as call of duty or battlefield 4 and other 1st person shooter is more enjoyable in 120+fps?

is there other kinda games that are more enjoyable in 120+fps? or is 1st person shooters the only tips of games where 120fps is better then 60fps?

Yeah mostly shooter games since one has to move very quickly while aiming and running, other than shooters maybe some racing games, I used to notice the difference between 60 and 100fps in NFS Underground 1 & 2, though next releases felt the same, at least to me.

does 3rd person matter if it is 60fps or 120fps? like GTA 5, assassins creed, tomb raider?

and does RTS games make a difference if it 60-120fps? like total war games?

Anything higher than 60 FPS will get some visual gains. The biggest difference will be noticed from games with fast action. A good example is to view movies or sports with fast movements at both 30 FPS and 60 FPS.(Edit: the source has to be able to output the higher frame rate , of course) You will see less blurring at higher frame rates. The less or slower the action is, the less "benefit" there will be. If you already have a high refresh rate monitor, then there's no reason to not use the rate. If you are considering one, you may want to do some research or, if possible, see if you can view it firsthand for yourself to see if it's something you want to invest in.

Everything should look smoother at 120 vs 60. How much depends on the user. Some will not notice it much others will be never be able to go back.

Because LCD's also have a sample and hold effect, higher refresh rates mean each frame is held for a shorter time and this reduces motion blur. None if this gets to CRT level of motion blur, but it is a step up for sure.

Remember it also takes more hardware power to get 120/144 on many games. This should be taken into account.

3rd person shooters like Halo yes, Assassin's creed series........ it feels somewhat smoother but the impact isn't that big, same goes for Tomb Raider, haven't played GTA 5 so I can't really comment on it.

RTS games are essentially slow paced compared to other games, personally I haven't noticed any difference when going beyond 60 (only exception I found was in C&C Generals).

You only really feel 120fps+ on first person games. I have a gtx 980 1080p with a screen @144fps and I only really feel it in first person. It isn't worth it for third person games, but once you get used to 120fps even windows will work funny without it.

It's all about how fast or slow the action is. Asking if it matters is sort of relative. When the refresh rate is higher, the monitor is able to change the pixels on your screen at a faster rate. Assuming that your GPU is able to output high enough to reach 120 FPS, everything will appear smoother. That is regardless of how fast the action is. The reason higher FPS is preferred in games like first person shooters, is that the slower the refresh rate of the monitor, the more you get blurring of the graphics. Basically think of it as how many pictures can flash before your eyes in a moment. If you have ever taken a photo with a camera of someone on a skateboard or running across a field, you may have noticed that with cheaper cameras, the picture appears blurred. When you have a higher refresh rate it's kind of like having a better quality camera, the image will appear sharper and with less blur.
You will see a difference, but the difference will be more noticeable the fast the action/movement on the screen is.

Of course, the main thing is going to be whether your monitor refresh rate is 60Hz, 120Hz, or something else (i.e. 144Hz).

If it's only 60Hz, then you won't see any of the benefits from having 120 FPS over 60 FPS, & in fact may have "screen tearing" issues. Which is why a lot of games can enable VSynch, which locks the maximum FPS to your refresh rate.
