Is there any reason to not limit a games framerate to your monitors refresh rate?
The title mostly speaks for itself: For example on a 60Hz monitor, do I get any benefit from >60FPS?
I am aware of this question, which asks for the exact opposite, and the accepted answer states some advantages of capping your framerate. I want to know whether there are any advantages of not capping your framerate.

Should I cap FPS to my monitors refresh rate?
Does FPS have to match Hz? Not necessarily. In case you're experiencing visual glitches, most probably screen tearing, then it might be a good idea to either turn VSync on or set a cap on your FPS to match the monitor's refresh rate. Otherwise, it's all good.Should I limit FPS on 60hz monitor?
But with a 60hz monitor, the ideal situation is that you never are below ~120 fps. I'd say that 60fps (60hz-60fps) would be the minimum you'd ever want to be at. I use a 60hz, but I can 100% tell the difference when my frames drop below 100. Thank you.Does refresh rate affect game FPS?
Best answer: The refresh rate of your monitor won't affect your game's frame rate, but it will affect how many of those frames you see.Should You LIMIT your FRAME RATE? - TUTORIAL
