People turn down graphics all the time because they get in the way. Lots of SCII players play on low, and a lot of quake players turn off textures when they can easily run at 200 FPS. I bet if console games had the option, most of them would turn down stuff in multiplayer for more FPS, cause playing at 60hz means a lot to the gameplay and input response. The article even said that the physics and interaction on the PC was better because of higher FPS.
