I've been hearing mixed opinions on whether to set Vsync to 'On' or 'Fast' when I'm using Gsync. Some say to stick with regular Vsync in the Nvidia control panel, but I'm wondering if Fast Vsync might actually give better performance. What do you think?

I've read that Gsync performs best with Vsync set to 'On' in the Nvidia control panel, but it should be turned off within the game itself. Just make sure your monitor is Gsync capable—not just a 'Gsync compatible' display, since settings can differ a lot.
I prefer leaving Vsync at its default setting in the Nvidia app and turning on Reflex for all my games. I found that this naturally caps my framerate to a bit below my monitor's refresh rate, which helps in maintaining smooth gameplay.
For the best input latency and smoothness, it’s usually recommended to set Gsync with Vsync to 'On' and enable Reflex Boost if your system can hit the monitor's refresh rate. If your framerate isn't matching the monitor, then it's better to just keep Vsync off. That way, you won't encounter any issues.
Yeah, that’s a solid setup! Keeping things below the max refresh rate can really reduce tearing.
