Hello all,
I recently decided to try to force enable triple buffering in DX9 using Ati Tray Tools. My computer is a laptop with an i7 720qm (1.6ghz - 2.8ghz) and a "5730" GPU (basically a top clocked 5650). Upon enabling triple buffering using a game profile for TF2 (because I'm old like that), my CPU would not clock above 900mhz in any power setting while in-game(energy star, high performance, etc). A restart seemed to fix the issue and now I am enjoying both good framerates and no image tearing with vsync enabled in all its glory with triple buffering and the CPU upclocked, but am wondering, is there any chance the profile in ATT has any influence on the CPU or was that clocking down for some other reason?
On a side note: If you would like to enable vsync but are worried about framerate drops, seriously look into triple buffering....it is pretty awesome (provided it doesn't cause an input lag, of course).
