No reason you would have to hender your cpu.

Huh? Turning VSync on would cap the frame rate at your current refresh rate. On old games, this usually has the nice effect of correcting frame-based mathematics and makes them actually playable (again, this depends on the game). If you didn't "hender" your CPU, the game would remain unplayable. Thankfully most game makers smartened up and are now using time-based mathematics...
