It basically just takes your eyes a second to adjust, the same is true for 30 fps to 60. If you only play at 30 then you might not notice the leap when going to 60, but once you start playing 60 regularly your eyes will adjust, and 30 will start to look choppy. Once that happens the difference will become easy to point out, and you’ll be able to appreciate the frame increase.

Eventually it’ll become night and day, taking zero effort to notice the difference between frame rates, and the difference being a massive deal. I still only play at 1080p, for example, so I can play at 120-144 fps consistently, as that smoothness is infinitely more important to me than a sharper image.
