    Most likely FPS games but probably any kind of game where you need a fast response time. I understand that some people don’t notice input lag with vsync on, but for me it’s unusable. I’m not even close to the “Top 1% Counter Strike pros” but when I’m playing Portal 2, CrossCode, Deep Rock Galactic, Valheim, CS Go, Path of Exile, etc, it bothers me A LOT.
