I dont really understand what this option does in games, I see it reduces my frame rate to a maximum of 60 but does it improve my gaming experiance or decrese it?

It syncs the FPS in the game to your monitors refresh rate, with TFT's it will stop tearing appearing. I recommend you have it enabled.

Yeah, I used to have it enabled with Trilinear Buffering to aid it, but to be honest I can't tell the difference with it enabled or not. It's definitely game preference, but with it off, I notice much smoother gameplay and not a single tear in sight.

You obviously have nothing better to do than look through really old threads lol.

Or, i searched for "Vertical Sync" on the forum (was doing research on it this afternoon) and came upon this as the only thread about it.
