If you are getting less than 35 fps then its time to turn your settings down! When i'm out for frags I could care less what the IQ looks like, its all about the k/D. When i'm playing an RPG for example I could care less about input lag...its all about the eye candy. Same goes for almost any single player game...to include shooters.

you don't have to be getting 35fps for vsync to ruin your gameplay experience, in fact you can't even get it. Any framerate below 60fps (assuming 60hz), even 59fps, will be automatically reduced to 30fps. This is why most console games run at 30fps, they can't afford to maintain 60 all the time to avoid the fluctuation so they cap the framerate at 30.
