Honestly, I can not tell the diffrence between the 120 here and whatever I got on my old pc (I think it was around 30), but it really makes a diffrence to 10!
The human eye (+brain) can only process so many frame buffer refreshes in a second; video is typically formatted as ~24 fps, and games running over about 30 fps don't become smoother in very obvious ways. The only reason to care about higher frame rates in games is that there is lag associated with rapidly changing the scene, thus requiring swapping in different rendering elements. This peters off around 50-60 fps, though. Anything higher than that will be unnoticeable.
