triple buffer on Nvidia


Hi can anyone tell me how to set up triple buffer on Nvidia cards? I've changed monitor and am getting some tearing on my graphics. V-sync does not help this problem and I can't find triple buffer on the Nvidia set up box. Can I set this somewhere or download some software for this or change xorg.conf?
I'm using Debian, Thanks

Code:
Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "nvidia"
        Option      "SLi" "SFR"
        Option      "RenderAccel" "True"
        Option      "NoFlip" "True"
        Option      "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True"
        Option      "Triplebuffer" "True"
EndSection
Just set the option "Tripplebuffer" to "True" in your xorg.conf, dunno if this helps the tearing graphics though, V-Sync is used to solve that usually.
