Alternatively; some non-FreeSync non-Gsync LCD monitors support a surprising number of custom resolution refreshes that are not listed in the monitor's specsheet nor the manual: refreshes like 55Hz or 58Hz from your cheap or old LCD? yeah might be a thing so just try it from your GPU's control panel custom resolutions utility.
Then if you turn switchres and syncrefresh on in the ini, MAME can use these to play the games at screen speeds closer to the game hardware's intended.
It'd be worth a longer discussion but in short from what I've seen and compared Groovy MAME is indeed better at this, it requires more configuration work though, and nothing being perfect in this world there are some limitations and little annoyances. Other advantage of note with Groovy is that you get -2 frames reduced lag by default using their d3d9ex build, which is faster than what any of the current normal MAME backends offer.
Of course FreeSync or Gsync are easier and more accurate, but if you're broke trying your setup at switcheres+syncrefresh can yield great results too if you're lucky, maybe not 100% accurate but much better than forcing everything to 60Hz or enduring triplebuffer's choppiness.
