Something nVidia is doing ?

I'm going to assume it sucks like V-Synch ?

Its better than normal Vsync, but its technically the same.

Is it a per-game thing ? or turned on/off via nVidia's drivers ?

[_I_]

both

you can enable it in some games, or globally with driver settings

It's supposed to work like VSync but without massive frame rate drops that happen when fps drops below monitor's refresh rate.
For example, 55 fps + 60hz monitor + VSync w/o triple buffering = 30 fps and then it would bounce back to 60 when GPU can output more than 60 frames.

VSync doesn't suck if GPU is powerful enough to output frames fast enough for display to show. If GPU is too powerful then it can cause effect known as screen tearing. For some of us that causes headaches.
