Depends on your monitor. If the native refresh rate of your monitor is 120, then having the game's FPS capped at 120 is fine. However, if your monitor's refresh rate is 60, there's no benefit at all to capping your frame rate higher than 60.
The danger is that if uncapped, the frame rate will run in the hundreds and needlessly tax your graphics card. The advice to limit frame rate to 60 is due to the fact that in the past most LCD monitors had a refresh rate of 60. But that's changing as newer monitors might have a higher refresh rate.
Thanks very much. Is Hz the same as Refresh rate?
