For consoles that will have to wait for vr (pretty soon for early adopters)... 60fps is the cap for them because this is how the standrd for tv refrsh rate is set..

 

on the pc side there has beenhigh refresh rate monitors for ages, LCD screens for some reason capped at at 60 early on and until now it has been fairly rare to have people with monitors with hugher refresh rates (yes there are 120, 144 and 165 hz monitors... But I have never seen one yet... I'd love to!).

 

anyway, back in the crt days I used to do everything at 85 to 100hz depending on the resolution... Lower refresh rates flickered and it wasn't pleasing (anything below 72hz has visible flickers on a phosphor monitor).
