Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

yea higher is better
hz = number of fps your monitor can put out at any given resolution.

This is wrong. The hz is your vertical refresh rate. Only when you have v-sync enabled, is your framerate limited to your refresh rate. Vertical sync is used to prevent horizontal tearing. For example when you're turning in a game your picture may not be perfectly lined up vertically, but with V-sync on it will be.

Wrong. Your refresh determines how many FPS your monitor can show, it can not show you above the refresh rate. Enabling V-sync simply limits your FPS to a certain level so that it runs in sync with the monitors refresh rate. The main reason for enabling v-sync is to get rid of tearing when your FPS is so much higher than your refresh rate.

Listen, you may put out 10,000,000,000,000 fps from your graphics card but if your monitor only supports 1024by768@10hz you are only physically seeing 10fps.
Actually the hz in this scenario is some sort of calculated number from your vertical and horizontal refresh rates (in other words the number of fps your monitor can do at any given resolution).
You can turn off vsync and see those 10,000,000,000,000 fps on fraps or in a game but turn it on and you see what your monitor is really outputting (10fps).
