Re: G-Sync and Freesync and MAME

My 2c; yes of course since those allow to play games at their correct original speed without tearing nor added vsync/triplebuffer lag.

Now what matters is how much you and your wallet care, since forcing the games to sync to the monitor's refresh (like GroovyMAME and MAMEUIFX allow) often makes very little difference in the resulting output speed.
Groovy also uses an alternative D3D(9ex) to get around the big frame queue that traditionally produces more lag than what we'd want on Windows, or switches to a doublebuffering-like thing when the speed difference is too much for your comfort (there may be other ways, like using OGL, dunno, I think RA does that too).

After all many of the most popular games refresh pretty close to 60Hz.
For those who are not too OCD about game speed, just a properly set up GroovyMAME is more than satisfying IMHO.
Good G/Freesync monitors are still very expensive.
