Question about G-Sync

[WesleyBurns]

I am interested in getting a monitor with GSYNC support.

The single question I have is, why GSYNC gets rid of tearing but practically letting you run at any FPS and not see any tearing (obviously too low fps and it won't look good anyway), is it easy to limit/cap the FPS?

The monitor I am looking at can do 120 / 144 Hz but be honest I do not want run run all games at full tilt.

For example if i was running to cards in SLI and playing crysis 3, i wouldn't want to run at 144FPS, the noise would not be great, where maybe something like G-Sync limited to say 70Hz would be better.

I have seen a slider in EVGA Precision tool, but does NVidia have an option for this with G-Sync or otherwise?

Cheers

Yes, frame limiting will work with gsync enabled, afterburner and precisionx both have the option and are probably the easiest way to do it, not sure if you can set the refresh in windows or in game to get the same effect, though there are a few people here with gsync monitors who might be able to have a check
