Vertical Sync recommendation
Vertical Sync improves video display quality, especially on motion (see this article for details https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing)
But it requires more resources, so if your system is already at the limit, you may consider disabling Vertical Sync (or setting it to half refresh rate - only availlable for Nvidia)
