I can't seem to make up my mind, I hate losing FPS and hate the screen tearing so In some games I am constantly turning it on and off. I usually can find that sweet spot on games where its fast enough but without tearing but some newer games I can't (i am look at you Kingdoms of Amalur and Space Marine.

I don't use this option. Game had been delayed little bit when tried on. Then i decided keep off.

i usually turn it on. i don't need more than 60-75fps in any game, and my monitor is set to 75Hz.

Like it. I can't stand screen tearing and I don't need more than 60 FPS.

I use to always keep it off but lately Ive been keeping it on (since i got my new computer).

I didnt used to use it as I wanted as many frames as possible. However since the new build I have to turn it on in most of my games or I get really bad tearing with frames per second being to high for the 60Hz refresh on my screen in 1080.

My hardware can cope with it, so I always keep it on.

V-sync is pretty much the only option that I insist on. Screen tearing is much more distracting than low FPS, I'd gladly take the hit in that regard.

Definitely always on. The screen tearing can be incredibly distracting and it really destroys the immersion for me. As a matter of fact, I can't stand it when some games do not have a vsync option and just tear like crazy instead. Every game has to support vsync.

I'm with the OP on this one.
I usually can't notice "tearing" so I tend to keep VSYNC off. But I DO notice when fps is below 60 and that's another reason to keep it off.
On the other hand, when a game is light enough (or properly opmitized (unlike Space Marines)) I tend to turn it on just for the sake of it.
In Mass Effect 3, for example, I have it on. Runs like a charm.

I've had this pain in the back of my mouth since this morning. I tried biting down on an ice cube but that only makes it hurt worse. Does anyone think it might be a wisdom tooth?

The eye can't really see much of a difference (or any difference) past around 35 fps, so the only real reason you need more than that is so when the game is rendering complex stuff onscreen, the standard rate won't drop below that. Unless the game is too advanced for my graphics card anyway, I generally leave it on for most games, because the fps drop is usually not noticeable in any way, but the screen tearing often IS noticeable. I have had a few games that looked worse with it on, though, so it's really game-dependent. I'd say I leave it on for about 70% of my games, with the other 30% being games that don't have noticeable tearing in the first place, or have major performance drops with it enabled.

I have it always on. Forced through drivers - so the input lag is unnoticeable (which sometimes happens with in-game implementations).

Not true.
The difference between 30 and 60 fps is huge, and I still can't figure out how people cannot see it. I can't say anything about higher rates since I have 60 Hz monitor.

It was always off on my old CRT but since I switcher to LCD it's always on. I can't stand screen tearing. That's actually one of the thing that annoy me the most on my PS3.

I have to disagree with you and agree with Paradocks.
Try this if you still not convinced:

I REALLY notice when fps is below 60 (55 is enough for me to notice)
I can't really notice tearing unless I'm looking for it.
