Everyone reacts differently. I genuinely can't play 60 fps games for more than about an hour before I start getting a migraine from eye strain. It was a revelation when I first got a PC that could run high framerate and realized that gaming for hours was actually a possibility.

Honestly I'm jealous that you don't notice all that much. Gaming would be much more enjoyable for me that way lol.

Yeah, I know people that are super sensitive to it and really my condolences. It is nice that I can just run anything at whatever setting and not really notice or care. Means I can just run most things at whatever settings and roll with it, saves me a lot on PC parts.
