I started playing Battlefield 4 finally after completing Saints Row 4and i am wondering if i should be playing with vsync on or not. I'm getting about 80 - 90 frames per second and not having any screen tearing. My setting are on ultra with 2x msaa.
Should i still have vsync on with a 60hz monitor?

Thanks for any replies and i will select best answer:)

Here's the short and sweet answer: If it 'aint broke, don't fix it.

Vsync with double buffer is really only good if you know your FPS stays above the refresh rate of the monitor for the MAJORITY of the time. If you have Vsync with triple buffering, then yes it would be a good idea to have it enabled.

Vsync with only double buffering when the FPS is under the refresh rate of the monitor will suffer huge FPS losses due to vsync taking extra time to compensate for more frames than the monitor's refresh rate.
