I've replaced all of my YouTube 30p videos with the 60p version to take advantage of the new high frame rate streaming. Comparing to the source files I uploaded, YouTube 1080p60 videos are only a little softer, but difficult to noticed playing at 60fps.
60p videos will play silky smooth if you use the right browser and your computer is fast enough.
On a quad-core i7 27" iMac:
OSX Yosemite: Safari plays 1080p60 smoothly; however, Chrome stutters and FireFox doesn't show any 60p HD options.
Windows 8.1: IE plays 1080p60 smoothly without problem, however, Chrome stutters badly and FireFox doesn't show any 60p HD options.
YouTube high frame rate steaming has only been available since October 2014 so it definitely has a lot of room for improvement. This is a big step in the right direction as more and more people are shooting 50/60p for 50/60p playback.
