1440p 170hz is an enormous difference compared to 1080p 60hz. Especially in something like Path of Exile, where you're reading a lot of small text, the resolution is very meaningful. If you've tried high refresh rate, 60hz feels unbearable afterwards, it's massive.

The problem lies moreso in unoptimised AAA slop games which use all your GPU for shitty graphics.
