It's like putting a roof above a trampoline. You jump too high and you'll bang your head. If you don't jump high enough the roof doesn't make any difference.

All I was trying to state was that with vsync on I get a smoother experience, for me it does stabilize the FPS as I dont get the big jumps up over 100 FPS, instead the jumps go no higher than 60, therefor it looks smoother to me when those large jumps happen... it was just meant to be a helpful hint that has worked for me, not a re-write on the definition of vsync. I understand that i prevents tearing, yet another reason I have it on...
