TLDR: it won't affect the gameplay. It is a noticeable upgrade but probably not as much as having higher graphics, what you prioritize is up to you but you won't really notice it is at 60 if you haven't played at 144 before.
Better gameplay? No definitely not, even for shooters unless you are at a really high skill level it is extremely improvablebit actually affects youe skill if thr frames are consistent.
It is notable, in the sense that if you play at 144 fps when you go back to 60 fps you can feel yhe difference, but after a few hours you stop noticing it. The most important thing is consistentcy, as long as you have no frame drops you will be so focused on the game that it being lower frames is irrelevant. And you will (probably) need to lower the graphics to run cyberpunk at 144 and it will be more noticeable than the frames, especially if you don't play at 144 before. It is of course nice to play at 144, but at the end of the day it is a matter of personal preference on single player games if you go for frames or graphics.
It definitely makes a difference in fast paced games like Doom.
Make a difference how? Because he asked if it makes for better gameplay, which I interpreted as an advantage in game (ex. Reaction time) instead of how smooth it feels, which for advantage it really shouldn't matter for a singleplayer game that doesn't require to be milliseconds faster than the oponent and isn't designed with such minute differenses, unlike csgo. Because of that it really doesn't make a difference gameplay wise.
But if it's about how it feels, I agree that they feel different, once you go back to 60 it feels less fluid, but it won't really change your results in game. And that difference is only noticeable once you play at 144 so it isn't necessary recommendedable to spend a lot of money in a new monitor.
But at the end of the day, it is about personal preference if you are going for graphics on ultra or 144hz/fps and graphics on high as it's a difference on how the game feels, the best thing is to go to a hardware store and ask if you can test a monitor or see if a friend has one to see if the difference on feeling for the fps is worth the money for the new monitor
It's eye candy, it's more enjoyable to play. Will it make you a better player? Debatable, probably not really, but it's still fun and looks amazing.
