Does refresh rates matter if you are playing games at 30/60fps?

Hi guys,I game on my laptop and I couldn't overclock the internal monitor.I have spare HD monitor and  recently(yesterday) overclocked it from 60hz to 75hz(wont go anymore higher). I don't see much of an improvement(people say higher refresh rate is quite noticeable).I have a low end discrete gpu in my lap and can play latest titles at 30-45 fps @ medium settings.I could play at more than 60fps if I choose Low settings but I don't like playing games at absolute low settings.My question is at 30-45fps range,does higher refresh rate matter?

 

P.S-I played rise of the tomb raider at 75 hz and I usually play with a controller. I think I found aiming and shooting a little bit smoother tbh but i dont really know if it is really became little smooth coz of the refresh rate or my mind playing tricks on me.What I'm saying is It's not a night and day difference.

The monitor is definitely running at 75hz.I did the ufo and frame skipping tests.

You'll always see the lowest common denominator here. So if you have a 75hz panel, but are only getting 45FPS in a game, you won't see any real difference. The only way to see any difference would be to get your FPS up to said number.

If your fps is lower than your refresh rate, you wont see the difference at all. In this case, you will feel the same thing even if you set the refresh rate to 45Hz.

 

It takes at least 100Hz and 100fps, more like 120Hz and 120fps for the difference to be noticeable.
