So, as I far as I know v sync is used to cap your FPS. It limits it so that it is matched with the refresh rate to prevent tearing. My refresh rate is 60Hz. But, in Crysis 3 my FPS barely gets to 60. So should I leave v sync on, with about 30-45 FPS occasionally dipping into 29 for a few secs? Or leave v sync off with about 35-55 fps? Both don't match my refresh rate.

I would suggest leaving it off. I would also suggest turning down the settings to a point where you get about 70 fps then turn vsync on. Trust me a stable framerate is so much better than a laggy jumpy gameplay with a bit of eyecandy.

It's when your framerate drops below 60 that you see tearing.
To use vsync, your framerate should never fall below the 60 fps rate.
To vsync Crysis 3 you'd need a killer rig, with average frames around 80-90 fps and minimums sixtyish...
NVidia's Adaptive VSync monitors things, enabling vsync when your framerate is high enough (over 60) but disabling vsync if your rate falls below.
During that brief period, if there is a lot of action on screen or whatever, you may see tearing.
Most typical gamers have no business enabling vsync, because their rigs are too slow and their settings far too high...
Also, testing sites (including Tommy's) seem quite happy with framerates that are too low and details that are set too high, so following their example will not get you a good high framerate and vsync enabled!

So I turned the graphics down to high as opposed to very high. I get 60-80 FPS without vsync. But, with vsync I barely get to 55. So should I just turn it off? I personally never even notice tearing. And it wasn't very laggy on very high.
