V-Sync FPS impact?

[SupersonicSaint]

My monitor is 1440p 75hz and paired with a Ryzen 5 2600 overclocked and a factory overclocked GTX 1070 Ti. If I use V-Sync will it impact my FPS performance much? I have also been told you don't need it if your FPS is over your display refresh rate, is this true?

 

Essentially what's the best way of not having screen tearing? Keeping your FPS over your monitor refresh rate or just using V-Sync and maxing all game setting?

For me, V-Sync is a "nothing else has worked" option.

Second only to motion blur, it gets turned off faster than you can count to orange.

If nothing else you're doing is fixing screen tearing, turn it on.

V-sync is intended to eliminate screen tearing at the cost of response time, while not having it will increase response time if the frame rate is higher than your refresh rate at the cost of potential screen tearing. 

If you're playing a game like GTA V that doesn't need a ton of twitch action, I'd turn on V-sync there, but if you're playing something like CS:GO, then I would not use V-sync.

Vsync is probably the first thing I turn on when firing up a game for the first time. Screen tearing is unacceptable imo.

The best way to not have screen tearing is to buy an AMD GPU and a Freesync capable monitor. You though, since you have a 1070Ti, are stuck with Vsync which will cap your games to 60fps. Or you can shell out hundreds of dollars to get a Gsync capable monitor.

V-Sync will just limit your FPS to your display's refresh rate.
