I run dual 4k screens at 60hz, vsync enabled, ultra settings on my 3080ti. Most of the games I play are MMO's or RPGs that rarely benefit from more than 60 fps, so this works fine for me.
Vsync vs low latency mode for fps games

Depends if you have G-Sync or not. If no G-Sync, keep V-Sync off and just let it tear.
If you have G-Sync, from NVIDIA:
If you have a variable refresh rate display, like an NVIDIA G-SYNC monitor, you can get the best of both worlds: no tearing (if your FPS is below your refresh rate), and no VSYNC latency.
For G-SYNC gamers who don’t want to tear, keeping VSYNC ON while using NVIDIA Reflex or NVIDIA Ultra Low Latency Mode, will automatically cap the framerate below the refresh rate, preventing VSYNC backpressure, eliminating tearing, and keeping latency low if you become GPU bound below the refresh rate of your display.

so you want to game at like 300-600fps?
a lot of game engines go really janky with high fps

If we are talking specifically about FPS titles, g-sync and max your frames. Never add v-sync as you will get input delay. What fps engines are breaking on 300 fps? Cs:go and valorant are not effected.

Vsync on because I don't play multiplayer anymore.

Not played competitive in a long time but Vsync was always off in CS, one of the first things you learned in a comp match.
Go into a game, move your mouse around and you will notice if you have lag, if you dont notice it then just play and be happy.

Rules of CS. Vsync off, fps_max 0, check your DPI so that flicking to the end of the mouse pad will turn you 180 degrees so you can shoot the guy behind you.

I remember entering a comp match just after upgrading my GFX card and I had Vsync locked on for some reason, couldn't understand why my aim kept moving even after I had stopped the mouse.....I took some ribbing for that one.
Still it was better than everyone finding out that if they turned their flashlights on I got about 5fps on the old onboard GFX lol.
So* there’s no tearing.
I think its a personal preference really. Some people prefer really high fps, when I set unlimited frames though (as im on a 100Hz gsync screen and have it capped at 97fps) it feels really odd and gives me mild motion sickness.
Id much rather have 97fps all the time that it jumping around from 50 - 300

You don't care about lag?
No I cant tell the difference between 10ms and 50ms, my brain isnt that fast.
I also dont play shooters.

Ah ok. Surely you still feel it when turning in a third person game?

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.
The question was aimed at FPS not 3rd person / cinematic game universes O_o
