BF3 Vsync and fps questions

[Tom01793]

Hi all, quick question

normal i always turn v sync on and don't think about it

but in bf3 i turn v sync off and managed to get fps of like 65-75 but some times i seem to get a small amount of tethering on screen,

what is better turn v sync on and stick to max fps of 60 or turn vsync off and some times get more fps?

it depends on game engine in cod its used to be better to have higher fps and it made a big difference in bf3 id just keep 60 fps most use a framelimiter and not vsync though

so what's the difference in using a limiter rather than v sync
