VSYNC on or off?
Will I have better performance with both v-sync and triple buffering enabled, or with vsync off in this game?

It's a matter of personal performance. Try it both ways and find what you like best. Enabling Triple Buffering will likely make your mouse input feel "laggy" though. I generally just leave it on adaptive in the GPU control panel and don't worry about the in game settings.

so you think the NVIDIA settings will be better than in-game right?

Essentially, VSync is used for the simple reason of in theory eliminating screen tearing.
Screen tearing occurs when the framerate is either above or below the refreshrate of the monitor or display.
VSync on or off? VSync sounds good but it also has downsides, it introduces stuttering, as well as input lag.
In short, if your FPS is at all times above your displays refreshrate and you can deal with some input lag and want a complete image at all times, enable it.
If not, disable it. VSync doesn't improve performance, more so reducing it as enabling it essentially reduces the performance since it tells the GPU to slow itself down so it will produce as many FPS as your displays refreshrate is at.

^ Wierd because I always get stuttering when vsync is off. My GTA does not like framerates above 60 it seems...

Depends completely on your hardware specifications and the health and maintenance of your system. Guys with way better hardware than I possess can't run their GTA at max the way I can. They think hardware solves everything. WRONG. Hardware needs SOFTWARE to function properly. A system whose software is in bad shape is a system with hardware that can't perform properly.
