This is how my frame rates look with v-sync On in the Nvidia Control Panel, but not in the Intel Control Panel, recorded with Fraps, minimum 40, maximum 509 and average 100, and the cooling fans sound loud as a hairdryer.

With v-sync On in the Intel Control Panel, the frame rates don't go above 60-62, and the cooling fans only make a low noise.
