With the help of OCAT and PresentMon, OCC have taken a serious look into the effect V-Sync has on latency in a variety of scenarios.  They chose to use Serious Sam as the platform to test the differences various methods of applying V-Syn have on the performance of a GTX 1080 and Vega 64.  Windows 10 also offers a challenge, as you now have to be aware if you are playing a game in proper fullscreen or as a borderless window.  This all adds up to a long article, but is also perfect to demonstrate the best way to ensure gaming without any tearing.
