You may not notice it because fps cap at near to monitor refresh rate is better than none & will reduce tearing to what you will notice with more variable fps.
But V-synced is even better & will get rid of tearing totally.
FPS Cap is like 2 gears going the same speed in rotation but the teeth are not guaranteed to line up all the time, as they are not meshed together but are close together.
Vsync will Mesh the gears together so that they stay in line all the time.
So a 120Hz screen can give you 120fps V-Synced.....buttery heaven.
V-sync also causes very noticeable mouse lag though making it totally unacceptable for FPS games.

Judging by the specs, a very average TN. Which is what makes me think this can't really be 120Hz.
