In the past years, I've fiddled a lot with these settings to optimize gameplay...
I cannot tolerate screen tearing so of course I always use v-sync (or some form of it). The downside that seems to appear with v-sync is the evil "input lag" (I'd call it "stuttering or micro stuttering") which is what really annoyed me in the past which I often happened to fix using "FRAME CAPPING" ...
Somehow capping the FPS to 59 or sometimes the same as the refresh rate (60 or 120) removed all the stuttering... Never found out WHY this happens but .... yeah.... still works.
As for triple buffering I'm not so sure what it does.
I've read a lot about adaptive v-sync, g-sync and whatnot...
but in my experience adaptive v-sync is complete crap... it doesn't seem to work all that well and the bouncing between vsync on and off seems to cause problems... which is where I believe G-sync comes in really handy... except the price for G-sync monitors is just off the chart at the moment...
I do have a gtx 970 that could handle g-sync... But yeah, I'd like you guys to educate me a little more about those settings and about the ways of making gameplay much more smoother
