double buffering in a sentence

Examples

1. The framerate slows down because the game is trying to do more each frame than than hardware can handle in 1 / 60 of a second ( even if it's only taking a little longer than 1 / 60 second to render a frame, on games that use double buffering the framerate drops all the way to 30 Hz because the next frame won't be displayed until the next vertical synchronization ).
