hi!
i have an gigabyte aero 15x it has an gtx 1070 maxq design. the screen is 60hz and doesent have gsync so as an moderate gamer who plays maybe 2-3 hours a day should i be worried about screen tearing does it affect my perfomance or anything like that. i havent tried my own laptop yet but on other computers that dont have gsync i havnet seen screen tearing myself.
 
It's just a by-product of rendering too many FPS compared to a screen's refresh rate.

It doesn't hurt anything. You can game in peace.
