Whoa, it's you, the other psy* again! :D No prob, and I'm very happy with Compton, if you're not superhuman and can see 120 Hz, not even locking your vsync to your 60 Hz refresh should cause any trouble. I think. And I hear LxQt is adopting Compton as official compositor, so whee!

I use kwin which probably works better.

How do you set up kwin to do this? For me none of the tearing settings I can find in Desktop Effects seem to make any difference with Torchlight II, the game with the absolute worst tearing and stuttering I have ever encountered :) But with Compton it's smooth as butter.

I guess if compton is working for you then there is no point in trying to get vsync in kwin to work if it isn't working for you. I haven't noticed any tearing whilst playing torchlight with vsync in kwin enabled. One thing with vsync in kwin and nvidia proprietary, every time you reboot vsync is disabled so you have to toggle it off and on. There is a small fix by adding an extra line of code to etc/profile which keeps vsync enabled after a reboot.
