lower it to zero
Since forever. Triple buffering reduces latency(versus using both back buffers) by dropping the older one if another new frame is already ready. That results in uneven updates in animation, or judder.
If you really need "official" confirmation, here.

I also use it a lot and don't really notice it. Doesn't mean it's not there. Tbh, lots of people are probably used to it from growing up with 24 fps media on 60 hz TVs.
But this info is misleading.
You can see inconsistent framepacing with triple buffer if your framerate is under refreshrate. But, using double buffer with those framerates, is not better. Having frametimes jumping from 16 to 33 ms is annoying too.
What if you're rendering an inconsistent number of extra frames above the refresh?
Say going back and forth between 120 and 150. 120fps would give you an 8ms visual update of the game, and 150 would show a 4ms update. I don't know how noticeable that would be, but it is there.
The new frame is always showed every 16 ms (for 60 hz screen). And correct triple buffer means the frame showed is as new as possible. I can't see the problem.

Latest patch itroduced stutter for me on certain maps, like Drydock and Exoplanet. It pisses me off, 80+ fps and it stutters like crazy. This is why im always weary of "performance" patches.
Actually, thinking about this it seems you're right.
Cause if you're rendering 2 or 3 frames per refresh the last one should still show 16ms past since the last displayed one.
Anyway, I don't notice anything when I use it.
If your framerate is over your refreshrate and the game doesn't have additional problems (streaming hitches for example), no. You will not have judder.

Why not? I can't try it right now because I'm traveling atm.
For Source you have to use SWEETFX stuff etc. and I don't believe I ever managed to get it to work in the original.

We never had a DX11 renderer in Source before so any experience with previous games may not apply to TF2.

I'm crashing within seconds of starting a game of Attrition, I'm getting - Error 0x887A0006 - DXDGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG, any advice?

So it's not me just being crazy maybe?
Also, does anyone know how to tone down the bloody smoke effects and shit. Put effects to low but I still feel like it's a hog when running by a cloud.

Happened to me. According to my friend it's not specific to this game on Origin. What fixed it? Opening and closing Origin and trying to launch it a billion times. If you ask me, redownloading is a waste of time. I'd try to restart your computer even.
Will try that. I was thinking it was an issue with Origin, but Battlefield 1 launched fine afterwards so ¯\_(ツ

Restart Origin or even PC. New Origin is really bad.

Anyone else have the game take a long time to boot to the title screen (like a minute or two)> Performance is perfect after that and it doesn't happen to other games but it's really annoying.
Yeah I don't know what they were thinking with that origin re-design.
The new UI is filled with incredibly laggy animations and it's buggy as hell in general (e.g. I frequently have to restart origin now because the game library page randomly stops displaying anything until I restart it)
So this game is actually playable on my Q6600 at 3.2GHz with 4GBs of RAM and a 4GB GTX 670. Getting around 40-60fps typically (1920x1200). Mind you this is on all low (AF on 8x), but hey, well below the minimum specs on the CPU and RAM front.
Pretty impressed with how well it runs all things considered. Hopefully the community keeps active.

I haven't found one report of players experiencing the dreaded blue screen of death (BSOD) while playing Titanfall 2. Surely I'm not the only one? My PC is entirely stable otherwise - overnight small FFTs run in Prime95 v279 produced no errors, and no other games give me any issues.
Edit: Did a bios update on my Asus Z170-A and tightened up my overclock a bit. So far, no BSODs. So maybe it was my overclock settings after all. Curious that Titanfall 2 of all things would reveal its instability.

Holy crap, Q6600!!!?
Sure thing! I've been milking this old thing as long as I can. Between this and siege running decently I've been pretty set.
It struggles quite a bit with anything that has large levels though. No battlefield going on over here.

Based on the Nvidia performance guide I decided to try playing at 4K with the dynamic resolution. It works great! I really can't tell the difference and the game never drops more than a single frame. The dynamic resolution in Quantum Break, by comparison, looked like shit.

I've had overclocks that passed prime95, Intel burn test, and furmark runs with flying colors that was still unstable when it came to heavy gaming. You just never know until you get your system running full tilt in a real world usage scenario

For anyone running AMD's Crossfire, I've noticed Crossfire scaling is actually really good if you use any AA mode except for TAA.

There is no dynamic resolution in Quantum Break.
Sleeping Lesson

I think I was thinking of the Upscaling setting, which makes sense that it would look so bad.
Sleeping Lesson

It is, but the benefits of dynamic resolution are independent of optimization. You can take a perfectly optimized game and run it at a very high resolution and it will drop resolution virtually imperceptibly instead of framerate (which is much more noticeable). Hopefully someone suggests it to the team.

What? The Pro version is a lesser PC version.

Does PS4Pro version actually use different shaders/lighting/textures/effects?

I'm so glad I found this thread! Maybe you guys can help!
Okay, so I have no idea what's going on.
I have a GTX 970, i5-2500K @ 4.0, and 32 GB of RAM. I simply cannot play the single-player without the FPS dipping below 60 a lot. I saw Digital Foundry's XONE and PS4 video, and they run at 60 no problem. Why the heck is my system not able to hold a 60, even at medium?
I go to default settings, turn off AO, dial everything back by 1 (textures from Very High to High, and so forth).
Also, maybe it's normal for my older hardware? I get 60, but during heavy firefights it drops to around 50ish. I was just wondering, since on DF's videos they show that the consoles are locked at 60, even during heavy gameplay.

I switch in and out of it, trying to see if either one would fix the problem. I don't notice a difference between on and off.
I used Afterburner earlier to measure the temperatures and usage, the CPU never got over 50ish,℅ and the GPU was at 70-100℅.

if you have adaptive resolution tsaa is forced

Huh, didn't check this, will look again. The patch seems to have reset the settings as this wasn't how I left them previously.

I'd also check what clock speed your GPU was running at during load. It might be the case that it's downclocking to keep it below 80C.
Also, keep in mind consoles don't run anywhere near max PC settings. I don't know the exact settings on PC that give the same IQ as consoles, though. If you're getting IQ that's worse than consoles with that setup, there probably is something going on.
Yeah, the patch reset a lot of settings, including FoV. If you want to use MSAA again, just turn the adaptive resolution slider down to 0, and then you can change your AA option.
