Trilinear Buffering

[Deleted member 143938]

Does it hurt performance when Vsync isn't on in the first place? And does it hurt performance if it's on and Vsync is on as well (Vsync obviously lowers FPS, but will enabling 3B hurt it even more?)

VSYNC on, VSYNC off, doesn't matter, Tripple Buffering uses 3 buffers and thus more video card memory is used.

triple buffering reduces the loss in frame rate from vsync, at the cost of video ram and control responsiveness.
