Hey there! It's great you're exploring the PC scene. For games like CSGO, g-sync or freesync aren't strictly necessary—most modern monitors support VSync natively. As for the 1060 and 144Hz setup, it can work well if your game supports it, but it won’t hurt to use VSync exclusively if you prefer smoother performance. Tomoki mentioned VSYNC limits FPS to 60, but that’s more about compatibility than a hard rule—many games run at lower FPS with VSync. Just check your specific titles and monitor settings!
Vsync is a software feature that caps your frame rate at 60 frames per second. It can be enabled or disabled within the game settings when supported. Almost all games offer this option. You don’t need G-sync or Freesync to activate Vsync.
VSYNC is essentially a technology that eliminates tearing in games. GSync and Freesync achieve the same result more efficiently. Freesync is free and only needs a compatible monitor. Gsnyc isn't worth it, so just ignore it. You're paying for something that should be free but, obviously, people are being silly.
G-sync isn't usually necessary. If you prefer, you can choose a monitor with a faster refresh rate, and 144Hz won't be expensive. A 60Hz display is also fine.
