Vsync + Triple Buffering is the way to go. IMHO.
I had a quick look through the options in ED last night, and I'll swear I couldn't see one for "Tripple Buffering"?
Why the big slowdown in "Factions"?

So set it in your GPU drivers then. With nVidia you'd start with their control panel and the 3D Settings bit.
The nVidia Control panel allows you to set global and application-specific options, and I believe in all cases you can either allow the application to then override the option or have it stuck with what you set (which could, of course, cause 'issues').
I've never had an AMD card, so can't offer any assistance there, sorry.

Cool my core i3 2100 should do fine!
Quick search revealed that the AMD global Triple Buffer option is for openGL, but you can maybe set it for DirectX games too if you make a profile for each game.

I had a Radeon several years ago, I had to use Ati Tray Tools back then to get Triple Buffering to work.

You could also check if you can set pre-rendered frames, setting it to 2 or 3 or 4 used to help with performance.
Cheers for that...
1) I'll swear I generally see this "Tripple Buffer" option in the game itself with other titles?
2) It must already be on as I'm getting all manner of frame rates below 60fps in Fractions. ie: It doesn't drop straight from 60 down to 40.
