If the system can’t keep up with the animation of e.g. Gnome’s overview, the fps halfes because of double buffered vsync for a moment. This is perceived as stutter.

With triple buffer vsync the fps only drop a little (e .g 60 fps -> 55 fps), which isn’t as big of drop of fps, so the stutter isn’t as big (if it’s even noticeable).
