Can human eyes see more than 60FPS? part2

Hello guys,365 Gaming here again ! Straight to the topic, mythbusting: "Human eye cannot see beyond 60 FPS"

Some time ago there was a saying that we cannot see more than 60 FPS ,so we decided to  bust this myth right here, once and for all. So, let's get started. No you don't need lasik eye surgery.

THE HUMAN EYE

So what does this all mean? 

If you use your usual 60 FPS, in about 66% cases you won't even pick a glance at this object. If you use 240 FPS, however, you will see it cross your screen every single time. And, since your eye is theoretically able to see much more FPS than that, you WILL actually see this object.When someone claims that cannot see any difference beyond 60 FPS,first of all you should make sure you are actually looking at more than 60 FPS.We cannot see more than 60 FPS on a 60Hz monitor no matter what,since the maximum that can be shown  is exactly 60 FPS.Then, make sure that you are actually looking at highly dynamical scenes, not just looking at your desktop moving icons around (although between 60 FPS and 120 FPS you will see the difference even there). If you've been using 60 FPS for 10 years and then suddenly receive a 120 Hz monitor, you might not see the difference clearly right away since your eye is used to staring at the old screen. Give it some time, maybe, a day - then revert to the old refresh rate, and you will IMMEDIATELY see a HUGE difference by just moving mouse cursor around. You will see so many frames skipped, you will be shocked that you've never seen them before.

So, how many FPS do we need? Depends on the applications you use, of course. If you are interested only in web browsing and office work, you are unlikely to really need anything beyond even 30 FPS. If you play some slow-paced games like Hearthstone, 60 FPS is fine. If you play all kinds of games, including RPG, FPS, RTS, etc., 120 FPS will benefit you a lot. And if you are a hardcore FPS gamer, the more FPS you have, the better, 240 FPS and beyond will be just perfect.
