Vsync on/off ?
Does vsync affect performance? Without it i would get screen tears , with it on my fps drops from 130+ to 60/70+ at some areas ..

yes it doubles input lag which is important for cs go type of games (in other games you might not care but in csgo input lag is important and the less the better so double is huge deal )

but naturally screen tearing is bad which is why Gysync came out in 2013 . now its 2023...

Then why don't you disable it?

give me the model of laptop.

do you have NVIDIA GPU or AMD?

you need to enable correct settings for gysync to work and ensure game has it enabled as well. then you need to do fullscreen in game .

also what is your refresh rate and fps you are doing?

VSYNC adds input lag. Input lag = bad for competitive games. You can turn it on if you enjoy single player or bots.

there seems to be a optimization issue cause when I turn vsync off I do get 300-400 fps but it still feels as if I had 45

also people here overstate the input lag issue, if you aren't pro level competitor you won't even notice it. people just love excuses for them not being bad

Asus tuf a15
Rtx 4060 8gb
Amd r7
16gb ram
1tb ssd
1080p , 144hz , fps uncapped
Im always playing in fullscreen mode , usually gets around 110-130 fps , will drop to around 70 fps for a short time at some areas or when there's smoke/fire effects (vsync on, can't disable it due to screen tears)

Actually it was fine to play , just feels kinda bad when fps drops a lot

I'm a noob anyway , still prefer vsync on over screen tears lol

Turn on TearFree feature or whatever it's called in Windows. On Linux it's enabled by default and i can play any game with 120 fps on my 60Hz monitor without screen tearing. Oh and that is not Freesync i'm talking about.

Not a perfect way. It's like fullscreen windowed + no v-sync + optional fps cap.
Stuttering will happen often, until display compositor supports adaptive-sync working with borderless fullscreen windows.

Never ever use V-Sync.
