8600M GT Stuttering Fixes

I'm glad your stuttering is gone . Good thing is I don't have midterms in all of my classes so that's a relief!

WOW! THe nvidia forced v-sync is amazing. Before in game team fortress with 2 aa, max everything and 1680 x 1050 with v-sync would be very choppy. Now with nvidia v-sync I get max everything, 1680 x 1050 and 4 aa and runs beautifully.

, I picked that little tip up from reading a tweak guide and while playing Oblivion.

By the way, Triple buffering helps a lot as well!

Even with Force V-sync, Warcraft 3 still stutters, but with Triple buffering, it doesn't! SWEET! Now I can micro my units properly!

One thing you might want to add, you don't need a third party app to utilize Triple buffering, the nVidia control panel (under Manage 3D Settings) allows you to turn on "Force Triple buffering" .

Wow, it does! I'll edit that then. Can't do it now waiting on my "ex" pastor to bring his dog lol. Thanks for letting me know. That's a lot easier than starting up the Riva tool.

Does triple buffering cause an overall hit on performance though in terms of fps?

[Odin5578]

I havn't noticed a hit to the FPS but I can't tell you for sure. Soemone who knows more about Triple Buffering will have to take this question. Sorry.

[odin243]

I can't say whether it will affect your FPS, however it will inherently increase the average time between entering a command with your input device (mouse or keyboard) and the game responding to that. Depending on the implementation on your card and the game, it may or may not be noticeable.

Just changed my HDD to performance mode. What are the drawbacks to doing this? Will this severely hurt my battery life?

I noticed my computer is definitely louder with this option.
