Because the video card is guessing what the game will do instead of showing what the game is doing. You still get 20 fps worth of information from the game, meaning the speed of information shown to you is still slow. The extra 170+ fps are interpolated nonsense.

How does it effect the experience for the player? Maybe I cant relate because I like to used budget parts and dont mind playing games on the lowest settings.

Best case, the image is smoothed between frames and you can't tell the difference. Likely case is the image is smoothed between frames and gets details mildly off, looking "slimy" or entering the uncanny valley for microseconds, constantly, forever. Worst case is the ai gets things wrong and makes ghosted/shadowed fake enemies/terrain/etc., or shows none where there are some, for microseconds, constantly, forever.
It'l probably be some mix of all three. Now, if you're spending almost $2k on a video card you're likely the type of gamer who is pushing for every microsecond of response time you can get. If your mind is getting messed with by the video card for microseconds, constantly, you'll have to spend mental resources to evaluate what you're shown and that'll slow you down.
Also, I'm assuming the unterpolation will affect the beauty/rendering of some scenes. And if you're the person spending $2k on a video card you're paying for it to look the best it can.
I play on older hardware that gets 60fps with low settings on a good day, so this doesn't affect me. But, I understand how it could affect someone in a different situation.
