Vsync (triple buffer or no) is inherently bad, unless you can't live with the tearing
Vsync is a must have for me, I can't stand tearing. If slow down becomes a problem its a simple case of pulling out credit card and buying new parts or just not playing that game till hardware has moved on.
I'd rather put up with some tearing than be so flippant with my money. I'm not going to spend money on hardware just because a game goes from 30 to 20- fps whenever v-sync is enabled.
I've found triple buffering always removes mouselag, especially in Source games. Same for Crysis as well, and World of Warcraft.
If you get mouse lag with triple buffering, then it's not doing its job!
Im with you. I find V-Sync by itself will induce mouse lag sometimes but with tripple buffering it goes away. I personally hate tearing so have Vsync and Triplple buffer forced on all the time in Nvidia Control Panel.
I don't so its all good
You do know thats only opengl triple buffering right? ( if you do ignore me )
