Is there much point in VFR at 144Hz?

As I understand it, the point of VFR is that when you can't render a frame in time, the delay between the frame being rendered and displayed is kept to a minimum.

This makes sense at 60Hz, as dropping a frame means you add up to 16ms of uncompensated delay, which is noticeable. At 144hz, it's something like 7ms - is that still noticeable? Is it much different to the actual latency you get when VFR kicks in?

Basically, when I finally stop procrastinating and buy a new gfx card & monitor combo, can I avoid fretting about which flavour sync I'm locked into and just grab something speedy?
 
Fair enough, experience is often more useful than looking at numbers!
Have you tried both flavours, and if so would you rate one significantly over the other or is any sync better than no sync?
 
I've used both, but I've much more exposure to Freesync as my main PC is Vega powered, Fury powered before that - so I've been on FreeSync for a while. Tbh I don't think there's much, if any, difference between FreeSync and GSync as technologies - but, and this is pretty specific to FreeSync, you have to look at each monitor individually as the ranges can be (tend to be) small.
