Well... Using Vsync depends on one thing in particular. If you run without it you may experience graphical tearing of the scene..especially when you move around, or pan the camera.
Having vsync ON, eliminates that tearing, but your frame rates will be locked to whatever the vertical refresh rate is set at on your monitor, in your case 60Hz.

So..use it if your have tearing, disable it if you don't, pretty simple.
