G-sync

I have a 144hz monitor with g-sync. I enable g-sync and set my frames to unlimited so I can push 300 to 400 FPS in game (fortnite). Does this mean that g-sync is still capping my frames at 144 or does it disable when my frames exceed 144. Or does it cap at 144 and I can feel more smoothness from the extra frames exceeding 144? 

Because I can tell a difference when I cap to 144 and it feels way smoother when I set it to unlimited. That’s why I’ve always stuck with unlimited..never witnessed any screen tearing or stuttering. Maybe it is there, but I’m just not noticing it.

you can disable Gsync altogether with uncapped frame rates and it will feel just as smooth. Adaptive sync tech in general doesn't work when you generate more frames than refresh rate.

What if I just run unlimited FPS? Should I use vsync or no?

Do not use VSync. When you have a G-SYNC panel, VSync is completely pointless.

well thats not true. v sync still has work to do. v sync should be activated with g sync in nvidia control panel and v sync off in games. you need to cap your refresh rate below your screen refresh rate by 2-3 fps and i recommend riva tuner. and u get smooth games with the least input lag possible.

As @charbel1011 mentioned. Those are best settings to have proper gsync and not experience any lag caused by v-sync if you do not cap frame rates. As for fps and refresh rate, if your monitor is 144hz having more than that makes zero difference, just more load on your system, as monitor cannot show higher. And if you have gsync on with v-sync on in global settings without capping frame rates, once game reaches 144hz and above v-sync will kick in causing input lag. :) Hope it clears it up!
