Q1: Why does Ryujinx speed up dramatically when I turn off VSync?
A1: Switch games rely on internal clocks tied directly to display refresh timing. Disabling VSync removes all rendering throttles, causing the emulator to process ticks as fast as your CPU and GPU allow, which manifests as high-speed fast-forwarding.
Q2: Can I lock 30 FPS in Ryujinx for games that struggle to hit 60?
A2: Yes. The most effective approach is setting a targeted 30 FPS ceiling inside the Nvidia Control Panel Max Frame Rate setting or via RivaTuner Statistics Server. Keep Ryujinx's VSync enabled to ensure proper timing delivery.
Q3: Does changing the handheld or docked setting alter the frame rate?
A3: Switching between handheld and docked mode modifies resolution targets and emulated GPU clock speed profiles, but it does not change the core engine framerate cap. A 30 FPS game remains locked to 30 FPS in both configurations unless patched.
Q4: Why does my 144Hz monitor cause Ryujinx to stutter?
A4: If Ryujinx's VSync is active on a 144Hz panel without adaptive sync, the 60 FPS game cadence does not divide evenly into 144. This mismatch causes frame duplication and micro-stutter. Set your monitor refresh rate to 60Hz or 120Hz, or use G-Sync paired with an external 60 FPS cap.
