Vsync vs low latency mode for fps games

Just wondered what people's preferences were for fps games. For reference I've got an aging gtx1080 (although looking to upgrade to a similar tier card soon) and I play at 1080p 120hz (on a 4k 120hz screen, the main reason I want to upgrade).

I don't have gsync on my oled

Why are you locking frames while using gsync? I thought it locked them by default to the max of the screen?

So what I'm getting is that there's no right answer lol. Seems a split between locking/unlocking frames and gsync/vsync/neither.

Just to clarify, I don't think my card will do gsync over hdmi but will over dp so I can do it on my monitor (although it's gsync compatible) and not my TV (which is also compatible, but even with a dp to hdmi cable it doesn't work. I'll leave it till I replace it, I'm very interested in some amd benchmarks as I'm looking at 3080ti level (price/performance ).

CSGO lags below 180 FPS to the point of being very noticeable, mouse response is tied to frame rate in that game which sucks.

Is that why people crave high fps in that game? Normally I wouldn't see the point in going way above a monitor refresh rate.
