Hello guys
I want you to tell me your opinion on vsync and if it has any effect to image quality.
Is it best to have it enable in games so the frame rates match the screens refresh rate or disable it?
Also what are the pros and cons of vsync?
Any response accepted...

V-sync on = no tearing of what's on the screen in quick movements + less gpu usage if the game can go higher on your hardware.

I have had really low fps with some games with v-sync on... never really looked into why, just turned it off.
