You can have 99999999999 FPS from Graphics and CPU, but your LCD monitor works on 60 Hz, that means max 60 FPS and I think this laptop will make it for any game.

The main goal in building a powerful computer system is not going BELOW 60 fps at any moment in the simulation.
Going OVER 60 fps it´s overkill anyway,our eyes can´t say the difference beetwen 60 or 100 fps.

You don't always get tearing, it depends massively on the application in question and either way, some people prefer a more fluid fps rate with tearing to having the fps jump in divisions of 60.

I for one have never had any issues ever with running IL2 with v-sync off.

There is a much clearer and more informative discussion here:

v-sync on a 120hz monitor would be at 120 Hz, or ought to be.

yes I know..... I wrote that to prove that some people needs to have more than 60fps
