want to bump a stable-ish 80-90fps to stable 120fps, and again drops power and temps slightly. That sometimes does cause smearing but for the most part I don't notice enough to be annoyed.

So why do you want high fps? The issue with low fps is, that it causes smearing.

I don't notice smearing much and run my games/display at 30 fps.

And then there are games with motion blur effect, silly, right?

It's a personal preference but I would take occasional smearing over janky frame rate, I don't know why but if you are not a solid 60,90,120 it just feels really like there is a stutter every second or two even though it should be fine if it's above 60fps.

That's the point; LCD/LED don't stutter but smear. It's some optical effect, because LCD don't "refresh" but always have the static image until next frame, unlike CRT.
