Pretty thorough video (sponsored by Nvidia, who has an interest in selling powerful gaming equipment) showing how in game FPS as well as monitor refresh affects performance for both pro players and normal folks.
I wouldn't call it "scientific", but they go into a lot of detail about the testing and have discussions with the participants about how it feels to switch back and forth between the three setups.
Not all of the results are that dramatic but it's pretty interesting that normal people like Linus and Paul (of Paul's Hardware on YT) benefit just as much if not more from higher FPS than the pros.
They also mention that even on a 60hz screen, a high in-game FPS can help a lot since each frame you see is more "up to date" than if the game was running closer to 60fps.
