60fps can still look smoother on a 120hz screen, especially with vsync disabled.

how much smoother? im guessing marginal to something running at 120fps on a 120hz screen
Refresh rate still doesn't affect performance unless V-Sync is on.
Of course, the picture will look smoother when your FPS and your display's refresh rate are higher, but your CPU and GPU will still render the same number of frames regardless of your display's refresh rate (unless V-Sync is on).
Doesn't v-sync just limit your framerate to 60?
[QUOTE=Mattk50;28672178]FPS and refresh rate are "linked" if you have a monitor with a refresh rate at 60hz and your graphics card is putting out 50 frames per second then your only going to see a refresh rate of 50. the same would go for a graphics card only able to output 60fps in a certain game, a 120hz monitor wouldnt be able to take advantage of its extra refresh rate.
Hz= frequency per second fps= (frequency of) frames per second[/QUOTE]
Wrong.
Images can be updated halfway trough.

monitors refresh rate, the game detects it

okay, thought it was something like that.

If the game in question is badly made, yes.
Otherwise it uses your refresh rate (as mentioned)
