VSYNC
VSYNC
You can set your FPS limit to 60 to prevent the GPU from reaching higher speeds. This helps avoid exceeding your monitor's capabilities and reduces lag caused by VSYNC.
I prefer smooth performance with consistent 60+ frames. Nvidia offers Adaptive Vsync, which intelligently adjusts Vsync when frame rates dip below 60. At 60fps I don’t mind the slight input delay and it performs better than tearing issues.
I have an R9 280X and it's paired with a SyncMaster T220HD monitor.
