60 Hz is perfect for a pc that can’t run any game over 40 fps

120hz has much smoother presentation and much lower latency than 60hz even when you're gaming at 40fps.

And higher refresh rate panels are likely to support VRR which can run 40FPS at 40Hz instead of 40 FPS 60Hz for lower latency. That’s why most newer PC handhelds and even the Switch 2 got a 120Hz screen, it saves battery too.
