You wouldn't know if you never used and compared and reply with such nonsense.
Well, the whole point is that screen tearing has nothing to do with a 60hz monitor.
It is the gpu that is not able to provide a full screen every 1/60 second or it draws too much frames while not running in sync with the refresh rate of the monitor which can be solved by using v sync in combination with double or triple buffering.
That monitors can have variable sync is a solution to a problem that is caused by the gpu and wrong settings. Not because 60hz monitors are lousy.
It just means that you have a monitor and gpu that are vsync synchronised between for example 40Hz and 144Hz. Minimizing the chance of screen tearing.
You would have the same screen tearing problem when you turn vsync off on a gsync or freesync monitor.
