If you can render at several hundreds of FPS, then you certainly can render at 60FPS or whatever you need. Rendering is not always silky smooth on websites using lots of CSS; this lets you render more complicated things with very little effort at 60FPS. Of course, you won't actually be rendering at 100FPS.

(It also moves computation off the CPU, so the CPU can be used for better things)
