Why is capping fps at a multiple of your refresh rate better than capping slightly above/lower?

I always heard that capping fps at a multiple of your refresh rate for example 60 or 120fps on 60hz is better (don't know what the reasons are) than say 80fps on 60hz. What are the reasons for this and what are the benefits of capping at a multiple of your refresh rate?
