I think not seeing a benefit from 30fps+ is mainly for film and TV, games definitely benefit from higher frame rates and look a lot more fluid 60fps+ and also feel more responsive. However I do feel that the benefit of higher frame rates drops off once you start heading above 60fps.
The only time I would say 30fps is better is if your PC can't handle 60fps consistently, in that case locking to 30fps could be the better option for a smoother gaming experience.
There's a huge difference between 30 fps and a higher framerate like 60 fps.
If you have a computer that can go over 60, you can even test it yourself by going into system configuration and switching the framerate cap between 30 and 60.

lets see if your statement holds.
Lately I've been having an issue with my game where the graphics/frames looks skippy. I can look at the FPS and it will say 60 FPS constant, but sometimes (not always) it feels skippy and feels like it's running at 30, especially when moving around, even though it still says 60.
Not sure what the cause of this is. :|
If you have Vsync on by force in your drivers, any drop below 60 will drop it to 30, and once it gets to 60 it stays there, if you take of vsync, you should get a smoother experience but maybe some tearing, if you are running an nvidia card, put adaptive vsync, and then in game, unlimited cap on frames, this will keep the game at 60, and it wont drop to 30 if any dips.
adaptive vysnc basically turns vsync on and off depending on the frames.
I made the first tweak and I saw a very noticeable uptick in performance with DX11. Thanks a ton for posting—I'd needed to run in full screen mode (which isn't ideal for me because I compulsively ALT-TAB) since switching and now it looks like I may not need to.

I might test again but I think the game is averaging around 100-120fps even I push my GPU to 1300Mhz with Modded Firmware.
Yes I am not playing 100FPS lol, I prefer 60FPS since my monitor is only 60Hz. But it is always good to know if this tweaks would help the fps dips in zergs.
