Can a higher frame rate make you more competitive at FPS?

[Brazo]

So whilst I enjoy fps games, my performance is mediocre at best - hey someone has to die more so everyone else can kill more? Anyway..

Since picking up a 1080 and overclocking my monitor to 75hz my performance in BF4 and battlefront has increased, the latter massively but I've been playing the new maps on bespin so it's more of a level playing field as people haven't learnt the maps yet.

Could a higher refresh rate offer an advantage?

If you aren't performing at 60fps, you won't perform better at a higher FPS either.

Find out where your flaws are instead and work on them.

It's my reaction times. I'm not a 'monster' fuelled teenager, quite the opposite so that's my biggest weakness!

I can recall playing the original doom on my 386 sx40, a friend had a 486 dx2 66 which was a lot faster. We tried a lan game and his extra fps meant a lot more kills for him. I suppose no it won't improve skill (obviously) but it should to some extent give an advantage to a degree of my example above?
