Title: Interesting read about vsync and double/triple buffering

So 60fps vsynced graphics with double sync will induce 33ms lag to your online game...

There's also interesting stuff about buffering implementation on directx.

Sorry, but that is not accurate, the way it is written.  Not at all accurate.  He is making an enormous amount of assumptions, many of which are simply used to paint a worst case scenario as normal circumstance.

His conclusion about the 'input lag' is just wrong.

Reader beware.

I read and reread that article.  I'm still confused as to whether Triple Buffering should be enabled or not, while vsync is enabled.
I always run with vsync enabled, but not sure about this setting...

Enabling or disabling it, in the driver, will not have any impact on Aces High.  Enabling it just uses up more resources.

Thanks Skuzzy, I'll just leave mine disabled then.
