Triple buffering

Do you have it turned on? It allegedly adds some delay, but makes things smoother, can't decide what to use :c

It's negligible assuming your computer is half decent, but it depends on the specific code and how efficient it is. For ET and older games I would've it on, but for newer games off (if I was struggling for fps).

I wouldn't call it neglible. The view can be up to two frames after the renderer, which is 33 ms @ 60 Hz.

doesn't it only affect you if you use vsync?

off
imo using maxfps 100 on a 120Hz monitor is much worse than turning triple buffering off :o

I just wanted to point out that there are settings that affect the smoothness much more than triple buffering (as long as you don't use vsync).
