You'll need around 3-5 frames per sync pulse to avoid tearing on a 60Hz display with fast sync.

Regular vsync offers a smoother experience but can cause lag, making the mouse feel sluggish. Fast vsync delivers responsiveness with a capped frame rate and no visible tearing. Deciding whether to lower the settings for extra headroom or keep it at 72 depends on your comfort with input delay.
I suggest doubling it or using the +3 or -3 adjustment BlurBuster suggests if that's not possible. My performance drops to 180 on a 144hz screen when I can, and 141 when I can't. Keep in mind these settings won't handle raw input lag well since it stays unchecked.
I tried it, I’m using 120fps with fast sync enabled and NVIDIA Boost active. VSync is turned off, and there’s no tearing—just a smooth, responsive feel (OW2).
