I’m going from 60 → 240
You will see a massiv improvement. I was 2900-3100 for 4 seasons, got myself a good pc with a 27" 240hz monitor and my current career high (1 season later) is 3600 
The advantage you get is retarded honestly

Depends on the people ; sometimes yes, sometimes no
For tracking the benefit is huge. I swapped from 60hz to 144hz and my tracking accuracy just increased by almost 10% (tracked that in an aim trainer). From what I’ve heard 240hz gives you even more an advantage but the difference from 144hz to 240hz isn’t as huge as from 60hz to 144hz. Feels like pay2win to be honest.

It increases your aim ceiling by a large amount. You can still aim well on monitors less than 144hz, but you’re playing with a disability when compared to higher refresh monitor players.
I went from 60 hz to 144 hz and am totally disappointed. I was expecting this eye opening meet God like experience people made it out to be. It’s laughably overrated and just flat out hype.
I would of been better off going 4k
If you play mercy and junk you don’t really need 144hz…
thats what I wanted to hear xD
Because an upgrade doesn’t just make you play better. If you have butt aim, and you get a 144 hz monitor, you will probably still have butt aim.
It really depends on multiple factors such as the heroes you play, your individual skill(reaction time, accuracy), if you’re connection and equipment can handle constant 240hz.
I noticed the difference between playing on a PC that couldn’t handle more than 40 FPS at 720p to a pc that could perform at a constant 144 FPS at 1080p. It made a world of difference when it came to aiming, but not everyone is good enough to utilize 240hz so do keep that in mind. Also not all 144hz and 240hz monitors are the same and they all have different levels of delay.
240hz is definitely an improvement from 60hz, but depends on individual ability.
I have a GTX 1080TI. It probably can handle 240
It’s def. ganna help but I climbed to diamond with a Mac so… It’s not just about the set up is what I’m trying to say. I have no means to be rude
thats why I need 240… to play against people like you I need some advantage xD
I play ana too and again didnt see what all the fuss was about. Everyone on forums and website articles made it sound like 144 hz was this religious experience. All I saw was hype I am sorry but to me it was a total waste.
This isn’t quite related to your question about the monitor, as you’ve already gotten lots of answers but this is related to framerate so I’m going to put it here:
If you can regularly pull high framerates, it does not matter if your monitor can’t run them. You want your frame rate as high as possible (so long as it’s stable) as it reduces your SIM value, which is essentially input lag.
So even when you get your 240hz, if your computer is strong enough to run at 300, just set it to 300. It’s not going to be gamechanging, but it’ll be nice still.
Don’t get me wrong tho. It won’t magically increase your aim by 200%. But the possibility of aim you can develop on it is much higher than with a regular Pc. Once your reaction time and muscle memory kicks in, you will have a lot more time to correct your aim, predict the movement of the enemy and have a clearer view of where to shoot at. Imagine a soldier jumping up and down. Lets imagine this takes 1 second to complete. On your 60hz monitor, you have 60 frames of of him jumping. Meaning, the entire jumping process is cut into 60 parts. On a 240 monitor, the jumping is cut into 240 parts, but it will still only take 1 second. The time window of hitting your shot is still the same, but its muuuch easier for you to track and predict his movement and to allin your crosshair with his head. But this is only true if your aim was already good enough to get your crosshair onto his head with the 60hz monitor. You only have 1 second to hit this shot on both monitors, so if you would have totally missed the shot on the 60hz one, you won’t hit it on the 240 either. It won’t make u better the second you buy it, it will just give u the ability to truly shine with your aim and make whats already good even better. But once you have this smooth aim, you will destroy anyone who has 60hz most of the time unless they highly outskill you.
Well, it can only make you better if you make use of the advantage it gives you. People who say you can’t see above 60 frames per second are unaware of what you can see in between 240 frames per second running in real time. You can be a godlike player with a 60hz monitor, but if you let that same player spend a week with a 120hz monitor, if you thought he was godlike, he’d be much, much better than what he already is simply because there’s more subtle (but more crucial) information he’s taking in. While I do agree that the jump from 120hz to 144hz and even on to 240hz isn’t really that significant, its still way better than 60hz.
Rainbow Six / CS you will notice an improvement. So much of those games come down to peaking and dealing with tight situations.
Overwatch is a run and gun shooter with large player models so it shouldn’t matter all to much.
Things that will help. More table network connection - larger monitor / smaller depending on what you have - more stable Frame rates. Better mouse controls.
Generally when you upgrade like that you will get a more stable build as well. Rarely does someone just up and buy a 240hz monitor without making some other kind of change with it. That is probably what you will be feeling.
People need to understand that even 144 HZ is pretty demanding especially if your intention is to stream and or record games for review later.
I cant do both on my 1060 with my I7 processor without serious stuttered and missing frames on my recording.
true. I’m playing on low to stay on 200fps on a GTX1080TI. but looks like its because of processor, not graphics card.
About the performance it looks like another game. I’m pretty sure I’ll rank up a lot next season
