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.

Well if you want to avoid screen tearing then normally you would cap your fps about 2 fps below the refresh rate, then turn on gsync in the control panel. Then you are always operating under adaptive sync. I haven't really noticed a difference between vsync on/off while running in freesync range so I just turn it off.
G-Sync should activate when you drop below 66fps, if you have both it and V-Sync enabled.
I would probably go with regular V-Sync for more performance intensive titles, ones where you are likely to be under 66fps a lot anyway, and Fast Sync for games like CSGO where you can easily achieve 2x max refresh framerates. With Fast Sync frametimes can get janky in the lower framerates

No, you generally don't want to use Fast-Sync. The only case where it's useful is for e-sports or old games, where you are getting over double the refresh rate in fps (e.g. 120+ fps on a 60Hz monitor).
If you have a G-Sync monitor (or compatible FreeSync monitor) just enable G-Sync, and select G-Sync as monitor technology (in Nvidia 3D Settings). Then force V-Sync On (in Nvidia 3D Settings) and disable V-Sync in game settings.
And, for the lowest input lag, you'll want to use RivaTuner to set a frame cap at 2 below your refresh rate (e.g. 58 on a 60 Hz screen). These are the optimum settings.
