 ===Vertical Sync===
-Vertical Sync (VSync) is used to synchronische the output of your graphics card (GPU) with the display of your monitor. When your graphics card has finished rendering the next frame, it waits for the monitor to finish displaying the current frame, before switching to a new one. This means that the maximum frame-rate achievable will be equal to the refresh rate of the monitor (Usually 60hz/75hz/85hz/100z).
