Vsync double or triple buffering ?

What is the difference between vsync double and triple buffering ?

 

[InvalidError]

With double-buffering, the GPU waits for the most recently rendered frame to get displayed before beginning work on the next frame. With triple buffering, the GPU starts working on the next frame after that in the third buffer and if that new frame completes first, that frame gets displayed next and the other frame in-between gets discarded.

Double-buffering yields the most consistent frame rate while triple-buffering can be slightly more responsive.

sorry but i cant really understand, i just need to know which is better for gaming ?

Which one is better is a personal preference. Double-buffer for the steadiest FPS, triple-buffer for the faster response rate. Some people prefer steady movement, others prefer the fastest response speed.

so if iam playing a game and my FPS is very high and stable triple buffer is the best choice right ?

It is a personal preference. Triple-buffering discarding frames may get perceived as stutter due to non-constant frame time and some people are more sensitive to that than others.
