You should never use a framerate capper/limiter, just V-Sync for non competitive games and FastSync for competitive games.

It doesn't, all you'll get is micro-stuttering.

 

If you're playing a game where you can render more than 240fps considering this is a 240hz monitor you should enable FastSync.

 

In this case Freesync is pointless.

Nope, it does not. Use FastSync with your framerates uncapped.

I would hope video cards are better designed then a decade or so back when an online game redid their engine and for the loading screen it a static image but the engine treated it as game to be rendered. As there was nothing really to render, people where seeing FPS in 4-5 digits and a lot of video cards burned up if the user didn't have v-sync turned on before starting the game to keep it from going into those high frame rates.
