G-Sync fixes tearing by synchronizing your GPU's frame output with the refresh cycle of your monitor. But tearing occurs when your GPU is outputting frames at a faster speed than your monitor, and in response, your monitor displays two frames at once. So, what if you have a 144Hz monitor and aren't achieving frame rates that exceed 144 FPS? Why do you need V-Sync or G-Sync? Your monitor would just keep refreshing nothing, until your GPU had outputted the next frame. Is my logic flawed?
I'm asking because I'm shopping for a new monitor and need to know if it is worth it. No tearing and no stutters would be great, but (to me) it isn't worth the $200 premium.
