Why no V-sync?

I notice on the GeForce site where they recommend settings for popular games across all cards, that V-sync is always off.

Why is this?

Coming from consoles I am very keen on the idea of never seeing another torn frame!

You mean I've been beating my 360 up for all these years for tearing when monster PCs do it too ???!

What about triple buffering and D3Doverrider (read something about that, don't fully understand it)

OK well I guess I'll leave v-sync off until unless I start to notice (and get annoyed by) tearing. Thanks

Ever play Resi 5? I could swear 50% of the frames were torn.

Also I'm reading that D3Doverrider doesn't even work with DX11 and isn't developed anymore.

Is this true? If so, triple buffering isn't even an option an more.
