Vertical sync in games, should i enable it? (Xerox 19" tft)

[bledd]

is it good or bad?

i've got a rough idea that it limits the fps to the refresh rate so you get no tearing, but not sure if you get a hit on performance or not?

can anyone tell me what the best setting is (or is it a personal preference thing? )

cheers

it should allow for smoother game playing as no frames are "lost" between refreshes. If your pc can run games at 60fps, then yes, otherwise you may need to set it to double/triple buffering (i believe!)
