reducing tearing

haha - gotta try that

Hopefully this does NOT come with a performance penalty

They're Nvidia's variant of Intel's TearFree option - driver-internal compositing to eliminate tearing.

It comes without performance penalty, but I found it to be kind of glitchy with some games - it may come from my ageing GTX 660, though. I'll give it another try if I ever buy a more powerful nVidia card. That is, if GTX 1050 Ti really outperforms a GTX 960, and AMD's response isn't solid enough to become worth considering. Many unknown variables at the moment...

If you combine this option with triple buffer you can accomplish good performance.

Use them for years on 660 Ti without issues.
