    Question A few monitor questions

    Is going to 500hz overclock safe instead of being at 480? It is built into the monitor. If I use GSYNC what is the difference in-game if the fps is uncapped and getting frames well over 500 compared to capping it at 500 fps in-game? Appreciate the help/support.
