For some reason, and despite having vsync set to on, my frame rate doesn't lock to my monitor's refresh rate. I'm using GZDoom r1547 (it's a little old - I know). My current screen/monitor resolution is 1152x864 (in-game resolution is 800x600), and running in windowed mode (I also tried it in fullscreen mode, but there was no difference).
With ZDoom, vsync works fine - I get a steady 70-ish fps at the start point of E1M1 of Doom, and no more. But with GZDoom, the frame rate goes beyond that, up to 130, even though I have that option set to on.
I tried vid_maxfps with setting the max to 70, however it didn't have any effect either; the frame rate is still way up. On the other hand, cl_capfps still works.
OpenGLFrameBuffer::OpenGLFrameBuffer(void *hMonitor, int width, int height, int bits, int refreshHz, bool fullscreen) :
Super(hMonitor, width, height, bits, refreshHz, fullscreen)
{
GLRenderer = new FGLRenderer(this);
memcpy (SourcePalette, GPalette.BaseColors, sizeof(PalEntry)*256);
UpdatePalette ();
ScreenshotBuffer = NULL;
LastCamera = NULL;
InitializeState();
gl_SetupMenu();
gl_GenerateGlobalBrightmapFromColormap();
DoSetGamma();
needsetgamma = true;
swapped = false;
Accel2D = true;
if (gl.SetVSync!=NULL) gl.SetVSync(vid_vsync);
}
This is the only place in the GL code where vid_vsync is referenced. To me, it means that your OpenGL drivers either do not support SetVSync at all (function not present) or they do but it doesn't work.
Anyways, works for me.

Oh! I wasn't aware of that. Why is it not, I wonder? Any specific reason(s)?

Not that it matters, now, but is there a way for me to find out if it's supported or not?

I have no idea how to do that, I have not much motivation to look into it, and if you go back to the original feature request thread, Graf was hostile to the idea.

Well. If you can compile a custom build, you could look for this code in src/gl/system/gl_interface.cpp:
