Getting more FPS than your monitor refresh rate is a bad thing?

Hi me again so sorry . Any way as title says if I have a 60hz tv and if I cap frame rate above 60 is that bad for TV or graphic card? I have had it with vSync on as get really bad acceleration with it on. I have tested several times over past couple of weeks and it is Vsync what is casuing this problem. I also get bad screen tearing with it off that why I want to try and cap it at say 100fps. I just wanted to no if it would hurt the card or TV if I say cap it at 100FPS using GPU tweak on a 60hz TV?. I don't want to buy a new Monitor just yet because I have spent too much this year and want to save a little more first and get as much as I can on what I got. Thanks again all.

"really bad acceleration"

What do you mean by that? Do you mean input lag?

I cant really tell what it is. With Vsync on in NVidia control panel and games and desktop when I move my mouse it seems to accelerate and lag. When I turn it off in NVidia or games it goes away and is normal speed. I have been trying to figure out what was causing as thought it had to do with bios settings at first but no it was vsync all along. I also get controller lag using a controller. Its so annoying trying to get it right. I would get a new monitor and not wait if I knew for certain that 144hz plus would remove the screen tearing completely. Would love to try be for I buy.
