Tripple Buffering on benefits

[Florin pitesti98]

Hello, i want to know something about the setting from nvidia control panel tripple buffering:
i know that it is used for open gl games not directx games but also in this situation, i will get an benefit from it like:
-having a third buffer for frames in directx games
-smoothing things in directx games

Set it and see how things look. It's probably better to use the in-game options rather than forcing it through nVidia control panel.

If you use vsynch and tripple buffering it can smooth stutter if you get that.

ok, but it will give input lag much more than max prerendered frames and how much vram consume
i have 4 gb vram

It all depends on the game and the settings.

Hello,

Triple Buffering removes constant stuttering. So the visuals are much smoother when compared to the regular vsync. It's very beneficial when the performance side is considered.

But keep this in mind. Regular Vsync adds an input lag. And triple buffering adds more input lag. Everything is fine during single player. There would be no negative points. But during online gaming sessions, Input lag is clearly noticeable. So keep that in mind.

And every game doesn't work very well with triple buffering. It depends on the game. And some games doesn't have a noticeable input lag with triple buffering.

Hope this helped
