That's true, however what makes it really pointless is that AOC and Dell already offer the exact same thing, however I am sure once Asus release it, it will be more expensive than the aoc and dell we've already had for the past half a year.
Pointless unless you have eyes like a fighter pilot

You see difference between 144 and 240Hz even on desktop. It is same as 60~90Hz difference.
Many people claim that there is no difference. That's till they use higher refresh for some time and then go accidentally back to lower refresh rate settings.

ow i'm sure you can see/notice it but paying for the hardware to run games on 144/240 with high/ultra settings is the reason i'm still rocking a old 60HZ monitor. pretty much a competative monitor, if your not making your money through it you better be very fanatic about css/CS:go cause thatss about the only thing that'll comfortably crunch out 240fps wile not looking like dirt.

Ultra settings are mostly for fools today. Often you have hard time finding difference of each settings moved from High to Ultra even on screenshot. But drop in fps is noticeable.
In those heavier games, I go setting by setting and note impact on fps of each step.
Then I set step down all big offenders which make almost no visual difference and test one by one again to see if some of options did not become easier on GPU as result of change of other option.
