For non esports stuff, do you think high refresh rate monitors, 144Hz for example, make sense?

The difference between 30 FPS and 60 FPS is titanic. Does that carry over to higher than 60 FPS or do you get diminishing returns?

Going back to 60 from 120, I can say that it's very noticable. Even outside of games, in things like the window manager, just resizing or moving windows feels very choppy.
