While the difference is noticeable in that 30 vs 60 Hz example, high-contrast foreground/background scrolling is an even starker example: https://www.testufo.com/framerates-text. Just be warned high contrast examples like that can have confounding factors on some displays due to ghosting.

Corridor Crew did a fun and interesting video[1] on how good the eye is.
In it, they have a segment on frame rate[2], where he mentions that the neurons can only fire about every 13ms, or about 75 FPS. But, the important point, they're not in sync like a computer screen is. This means the effective update rate for a group of neurons can be much less.
"The human eye can't tell the difference past 30 FPS" was literally just a thought-killing cliche repeated by console gamers getting into internet slapfights with PC gamers.
You can see the difference for yourself here on any 60hz monitor: http://www.30vs60fps.com/
