Hey there. On your GTX 1070 setup, the Sync Every Frame feature helps match your monitor's refresh rate. When you enable it, it adjusts the frame rate to fit your display, preventing screen tearing. Using it in games like MW2 or MW3 gives you around 60 FPS, which is stable and smooth. If you skip it and hit max FPS (60Hz), you'll likely see more tearing since your monitor can't keep up. At 600 FPS, it might still cause some issues depending on your GPU's performance. So yes, turning it on usually helps maintain quality, especially in lower resolutions or older games.
It's your choice. Make sure every frame syncs correctly—v-sync is fine if you want. If screen tearing bothers you (as I do), turn it on. For optimal FPS and minimal lag, disable it unless you're playing online or with lower-end hardware. It really depends on your setup. Experiment and find what works best for you.
It helps a lot when your frame rate is higher because each new image reaches your screen faster. This means you receive more up-to-date information. In an FPS context, it’s similar to someone darting around a corner and firing shots—while moving quickly, you might miss the shot until it’s too late. With V-sync turned on and only 60 frames per second, a player could appear to shoot before they even notice, since the frame just before the shot had passed hadn’t yet moved. To avoid this, it’s usually better to set your FPS to a multiple of your refresh rate, which helps prevent tearing.
