Disabling Vsync is POINTLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CANNOT USE MORE FPS THAN YOUR MONITOR CAN REFRESH!!!!!!!!!!! If you are capped at 60, going over it means you still get….guess what?! 60!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!! /thread

 

EDIT: Disabling Vsync also makes your games more likely to tear. I ALWAYS play with Vsync on. It’s pointless to run above vsync fps and it makes your games run more smoothly anyways.

 

If you’re having FPS issues in a game, turning Vsync off will help. If you have the ability to get over 60FPS anyway then it doesn’t really matter.

 

If you’re getting 60 FPS in a game, don’t worry about it. The human eye can’t tell the difference between 60 and 300.
