Can vsync be as smooth as Variable Refresh?

[Gdourado]

Hello, 

I am wondering this.

Ignoring input lag, can vsync offer a gaming experience as smooth as g sync or freesync? 

 

For example, at 4k, most Vrr monitors offer an interval around 40-60hz. 

So if your framerate is between that at all times, the game play is smooth. 

 

But if you tune the visual settings so that the minimum framerate is never below 60fps and you run with vsync, is the game also smooth with each frame always taking 16.6ms on screen with no stutters or judder? 

 

Cheers
