No I disagree with Plusthinking. 30 FPS is the least amount of FPS that you will want to be playing on. This is what consoles such as Xbox One etc. play most of their games at. 60 FPS is recommended, any higher and the human eye won't notice the difference.

i am a human, i like 144 best, 100 is ok, 80 is playable, 60 is too low. if you got a 144hz monitor you can see a lot more. more resolution or more fps and hz, its all more information and we have not reached the limits of the humans yet.....

Plusthinking Iq, please don't take this the wrong way, but you are giving incorrect advice and information. It has been proven that most gamers cannot tell the difference between 60 and 120 fps.

A 144hz monitor won't allow you to see anything a 60hz monitor won't, as that has nothing to do with resolution.

For ANY game, 60 FPS is smooth. If you're comfortable with 30 FPS then that would also be fine. Some movies are shot at 24 FPS for reference. If you have a 120Hz+ monitor then you will have a smoother gaming experience, even at 30 FPS. Put a G-Sync enables monitor with that then you will be golden. It smoothes out fluctuations in your frame-rate by using an adaptive refresh-rate. If you're gaming with a high-spec system then you probably won't notice G-Sync as much.

The question should really be something like "What GPU is recommended to play these kind of games at ultra high settings smoothly?"

To answer that question, on Crysis 3, a GTX 780 Ti will be able to hit about 55-65 FPS average at ultra-high setting, and 4x anti-aliasing, with a 1080p resolution.

High refresh-rate monitors do help with motion-blur reduction since it is displaying the same frame more times per second, depending on your frame-rate. It also helps if your system can keep up with that refresh rate, too.

I've heard that even with 30 FPS the difference between 60Hz and 120Hz is noticeable.

Well, yeah. In that case it would be true.

I've watched both of those videos with Linus and 'Slick's friend'. I think if 'Slick's friend' spend a few weeks with a 120Hz monitor and then went back to a 60Hz one he would probably be able to tell the difference then.
