| Quote: | | Vertical Synchronization, also called Vertical Sync, or simply VSync for short, is primarily required because of the physical limitations of CRT monitors as discussed in the Refresh Rate section. A CRT monitor has to constantly light up the phosphors on the screen many times per second to maintain an image, and can only do this a certain number of times per second based on how fast the electron gun in the monitor can move. Each time it has to redraw the entire screen again, it moves the electron gun inside the monitor from the bottom of the screen to point to the top left of the screen, ready to 'repaint' all the lines on the screen from top left to bottom right, and back again for the next refresh. The period during which the electron gun moves to the top of the screen for a new refresh is called the Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI). |

Along with what CNZ said, while playing a game you'll notice during cutscenes or sometimes during a game the screen "tears"
Read the vsync section here

I usually enable V-Sync in games my graphics card pwns. If I have performance issues I leave it off.

it heavily depends on the engine of the game and the pc you have. As Spykez pointed out, you may get tearing artifacts, but usually those are neglectable in comparison to the performance gain.
If you keep it enabled and notice that there is input-lag, try to disable it. Or keep it always disabled if you dont mind the occasional bad screen (not very noticable when you play action-oriented games)

that said i'd agree to pay 4000 bucks for a gpu solution that would run games max at 1920x1080 resolution for 3-4 years!  |
It's actually quite possible for that to happen, but with the way companies keep releasing un-optimized shit it'll never happen.
anywho, keep in mind when using v-sync...it EATS performance. I lost about 20FPS on the witcher for forcing it. |
