[...] The benefits of a 120Hz refresh rate are pretty clear, but as I noted when Sony had people playing Gran Turismo at 240FPS, there is a point at which the human eye can no longer distinguish any difference. You’re [...]

60 is a good round number to shoot for, especially when a lot of displays are tested on the standard numbers – 24, 25, 30, 48, 50, 60, etc.

Instead of going up in frame rates like you suggested, try starting high, then going down. That is where you see a big difference. I played Forza 2 (60 fps) for months, then started playing Dirt (30 fps). It was like a chop fest. Once your eyes get used to 60 it is hard to go down to 30. I never thought anything was needed over 30, but I was obviously wrong. Personally, I think 60 is the magic number developers should shoot for in game development. Especially for driving games.
