[SOLVED] Will I experience screen tearing with refresh rate higher than my G-Sync monitor?

Hi Everyone

As the title says, will I be experiencing a screen tearing when playing a game above the refresh rate of my monitor? I currently have an OC'd MSI GTX 1070 in my rig and when playing Call of Duty Warzone, I could hit 90-110FPS (some graphic settings are not maxed).

I have a 1440p 144hz FreeSync monitor (G-sync enabled through NVIDIA control panel). Since Nvidia just announced the RTX 30 series, my brother who's working in Canada (I'm from the Philippines BTW) will get me a 3080 as soon as it is available. I know there haven't been any benchmarks yet but I think it's safe to assume that it could easily hit 144+fps even if the are settings maxed.

Thanks in advance and more power!
