    Does anyone know how to enable Triple Buffering for DirectX? I found the setting in the Catalyst Control Center for OpenGL only... :confused:

    Did a little googlin' and can't make sense of it. I'm an nVidia convert so please forgive me for my ATIgnorance.

    Is ATT required to accomplish this or can the setting be made from directly in the CCC?

    D3DOverride will do this. It's part of the RivaTuner package.

    nvm, I'm rolling back to 9.12. 10.1 has noticable stuttering in SC2+other minor glitches in Windows.

    You're the only person I know with issues with SC2 and 10.1 and glitchy Windows. Maybe you need to do a better uninstall and install of 10.1?

    How can I do a better un/install after uninstalling, cleaning registry and manually removing all traces of the old driver ? ;)

    In a nutshell, enabling triple buffering in DirectX when VSync is enabled allows for higher FPS in games, similar to having VSync off, but without the tearing.
