vSync! Yes or No - Whats your opinion?

Leave it off unless you get tearing. You'll get more FPS when it's off usually

I use it. It helps a lot at 1366x768

I absolutely hate that resolution.

I barely use it, I have a 120hz monitor and only a HD6850, so tearing happening is basicly impossible XD

but on a 120hz monitor vsync is not nearly as bad for input lag, becasue waiting one frame only is 8ms, not 16ms like on 60hz monitors.

I absolutely hate that resolution.

VSync introduces mouse input lag on some games (even with triple buffering enabled) so I use EVGA Precisions's Frame Rate Target instead.

 

I only use Vsync for games that don't have input lag or ones that I play with gamepad only like Sleeping Dogs.

I have it off being it makes more input lag and I have a 144hz monitor. The input lag is the worst think for me being I play a bunch of CoD4 promod and CS:GO and CSS.

I turn it on because my games still runs smooth after turning Vsync on. Turn it off if you want to get better performance.

If I leave Vsync on my GPU goes crazy and maxes out FPS. To stop my FPS going over 150 I use Adaptive Vsync. It keeps my temps down to.

I don't use Vsync, I never notice tearing, I like higher framerate because it looks smoother imo, and I hate the input lag that it causes.

The input lag is often unplayable, so I usually play with it off... Although I really do like the smoothness with vsync
