When you have a 144/165hz monitor do you need g sync?

Not really, if your system can push those FPS then just use vsync to avoid screen tearing.

If i got a 2560x1440 144hz monitor i would set graphics so i would get 100 fps all the time and try to get no less than 120fps

g.sync matches the monitor refresh rate to the frame output rate of the graphics card.
It is unlikely that any graphics card will be able to generate frames at 144/165 rate.

vsync sets a specific refresh rate which solves image issues, but does not solve input latency issues.

Without matching, you are exposed to screen tearing or input delays.

If you have a GTX10xx series graphics card, you want to implement adaptive vsync.
Via extra driver buffering, you solve such issues.
Read up on it.

Most high refresh rate monitors have freesync, does it require more vram compared to a non g sync,free sync monitor

freesync is made for amd, but nvidia can work on it
gsync is made for nvidia and you pay $150+ premium for it.
So a monitor that costs $400 with Freesync costs $550 with Gsync.
Which is why Freesync is winning the "monitor" wars.

I know that, i just wanted to if having a freesync,g sync monitor requires more vram or not

Also if 144hz reuires more v ram than 60hz or is it mostly resolution related and how good the game is optimized

The ram on your GPU has nothing to do with how the monitor works.
The GPU is all about Frames, monitor will match it up to 144 or whatever.

No, freesync nor gsync requires more vram.
