i7 3770k stock clocked 3.5 ghz.
gtx 770 ASUS stock clocked.
RAM- 8X1 Vengeance.

First guys tell me what Vsync Actually is?
i know it means vertical sync. (so dont tell me that).

When I turn it off, the pause screen in Absolution runs like 2000~1700 FPS on FRAPS and my GPU ,makes a little noise.

When I turned it on, Everything is like 60 or 60+ FPS. And i ran DMC4 benchmark with all "superhigh" and MSAA CQ16X and FPS was like 59 or 60 to 60.5.

I am giving the details-(DMC4 DX 10)

Vsync OFF -
MSAA CQ16X
FPS- 450 max
220 min.

and,
MSAA none.
FPS- varies from 250 to 500 and sometimes like 1000 too.

Vsync ON-
MSAA CQ16X
FPS 60 to 59.

MSAA none
FPS 60 to 59.
 
Solution
V-Sync matches the FPS output of your GPU with the refresh rate of your monitor, likely 60hz. Because the monitor can only "refresh" 60 times a second (that's essentially what the hz denotes, hence, 120hz monitors are capable of refreshing twice as fast), it locks your FPS to 60FPS so that they are synchronized. It helps eliminate problems caused by your monitor receiving 2000FPS (as in your pause menu example) and not knowing exactly how to slice it up into the 60 frames your monitor is capable of displaying.
