Vsync attempts to lock the fps to the refresh rate of your monitor. Great in theory but horrid in practise. It often results in input lag. If things get busy and your PC can't do 60 it will drop to half down to 30 and no body wants that...
There are some new technologies like G-Sync and Free-Sync but you need special hardware.
Most games have an internal limit. BF3 was set to 200fps. I'm not sure if BF4 is the same because my PC can't push that many frames. With BF3 in those times when I hit the 200fps limit my cards were under less stress. The fans would spin slower and the noise was reduced to a dull roar! By changing the internal limit you can get a silky smooth game play without your card or cards raging.
My PC can suffer from some stability issues when both cards are running at 100%, I'm not alone with this issue as Hue has mentioned a similar issue. (we have the same generation of AMD cards)
First off find out the refresh rate of your monitor, probably 60Hz.
The open notepad and add the following line of text.
Click the File menu in Notepad, then Save As.
Browse to the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4.
In the “Save as type” drop down menu at the bottom, select “All Files”.
In the “File name” box type “user.cfg”.
Click the Save button.
There are other commands you can play with if you wish.
