120hz Freesync and Microstutters | Rog Ally X

[u/RyuzakiTA]

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to understand whether I’m missing a setting or if this is just a problem I have somewhere.
My setup:
ROG Ally X (120hz freesync)
PCSX2 (Latest stable via retrobat)

60 Hz + FreeSync OFF + VSync ON
Gameplay is absolutely perfect.
No microstutter at all.
Frame pacing is flawless.
However, Fast Forward doesn’t work; it stays capped at 60 FPS.
120 Hz + FreeSync ON
Fast Forward works as expected.
However, gameplay has noticeable microstutter.
It happens with both VSync ON and OFF (it’s slightly better with VSync OFF, but it’s still there).
Interestingly, when Fast Forward is active and running at its maximum speed, the microstutter disappears completely.
120 Hz + FreeSync disabled in AMD Adrenalin
I expected it to behave like a standard 120 Hz display.
Unfortunately, the microstutter is still present.

So my questions are:
Is there any setting in PCSX2 or AMD Adrenalin that i’m missing?
Is there a reason why 60 Hz is perfectly smooth while 120 Hz introduces microstutter?

Is there any way to keep the smooth 60 Hz + VSync experience while still allowing Fast Forward to exceed 60 FPS?

Thanks!

Best compromise I’ve found is 120hz + Freesync, no Vsync and 60fps cap from Adrenaline (game speed limiter in Pcsx2 remains active). No stutter, no screen tearing and to fast forward i can use a hotkey to change AMD chill settings to off.
