For some games I'm happy to turn it on as it drops power/temps and provides virtually identical output (as far as i can tell anyway) to native, but my fans don't need to go into overdrive mode.

I may even put on frame gen too if I just want to bump a stable-ish 80-90fps to stable 120fps, and again drops power and temps slightly. That sometimes does cause smearing but for the most part I don't notice enough to be annoyed. Without them I would probably be running with more power draw and higher temps, and possibly still not even hitting lower resolutions at 120, some games as you say though can hit 120 no problem even without and the gpu won't be stressed.

So why do you want high fps? The issue with low fps is, that it causes smearing.

I don't notice smearing much and run my games/display at 30 fps.

And then there are games with motion blur effect, silly, right?

My first priority is picture quality. Play on max/ultra everything but disable upscaling
