For all the G-Sync users

Does g-sync have the input lag that v-sync delivers us? I mean I only ask because isn't playing the game on borderless windowed mode defeat the purpose of turning v-sync on as it makes the game stuck on 60 fps [120 if you have a 120 hz panel]

What are the real benefits of having g-sync vs playing the game on windowed full screen?

BUMP!

Only if you run your game's max fps up to the refresh rate of the monitor. Example, if you are running a g-sync monitor at 144hz, to get zero input lag you must limit your framerate within the game to something lower than the refresh rate (cs:go use fps_max 130). When you hit the refresh rate limit you will get the same input lag as regular v-sync. But with the above trick you can have tear-free, stutter-free, and lag-free gameplay.

I see, that makes a lot of sense.

But won't that kind of cause the same as if the game was maxing out the 144 hz refresh rate though? I mean if you limit your fps to 130, that means you'll still be hitting the maximum fps, therefore still putting input lag in your game? I am not understanding this correctly hahaha.
