Hello! I apologize for my English, I write through the Google translator.
Sorry, if this question has already been asked, redirect, please.
There is a monitor with Free-Sync supported by NVIDIA (ASUS VG258Q 24.5" 144 Hz 1920х1080). In nVidia Control Panel Enabled "G-Sync in Full Screen Mode".
In the "Parameters/display/settings of graphics" in Windows 10, it is possible to enable or disable "Variable Refresh Rate" that you recommend: do you need to turn it on there? Will there be any conflicts between Nvidia control panel and Windows settings?
Thank you!

Enable both. There is no conflict. The Windows setting just allows g-sync to work with some DX12 games from the app store (IIRC.) Both settings need to be enabled. If you ever want to disable g-sync, you only need to do that in the nvidia panel. G-sync will be disabled even if the Windows setting is enabled.

So just set the Windows setting to enabled and forget about it.

Starting with Windows 10 version 1903, Microsoft has added a new toggle in Graphics Settings for variable refresh rate. Variable refresh rate (VRR) is similar to NVIDIA’s G-SYNC and VESA DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync.

This new OS support is only to augment these experiences and does not replace them. You should continue to use G-SYNC / Adaptive-Sync normally. This toggle doesn’t override any of the settings you’ve already configured in the G-SYNC or Adaptive-Sync control panels.

This new toggle enables VRR support for DX11 full-screen games that did not support VRR natively, so these games can now benefit from your VRR hardware.

You won’t see the slider unless your system has all of the following. If any of these are missing, you will not see the toggle and the feature will not be enabled for you.
- Windows 10 version 1903 or later
- A G-SYNC, FreeSync, or Adaptive-Sync capable monitor
- A GPU with WDDM 2.6 or above drivers, that supports G-SYNC / FreeSync / Adaptive-Sync and this new OS feature

Real question is, does it introduce any lag? Or does it actually allow FreeSync to fully utilized as well?

DX11 games that used legacy bitblit swapchains in a composited window, hence it also affects Applications that use d3d11 bitblit swapchaisn, such as windows terminal, chrome, steam, discord, etc.

mmmm. no, do not.

Use it when you need it, leave it off otherwise.
