Why do the games runs like shit when v-sync is disable? There is no vertical tearing but the game feels like its dropping FPS constantly even if it says its running at steady 60. When I enable v-sync the problem goes away but then there is input lag, which is even worse
Is this a problem with my monitor?

Its a technical question tho

It clearly isn't, any bumblefuck on /vr/ could help you.

Computers + monitors don't render frames the same way consoles + televisions do.
A Super Nintendo is just blasting pixels right at the CRT in 240p, no delays, no waiting.
Your computer's graphics card is drawing the entire frame to a buffer or three before it ever sends the image along to the monitor, so you're stuck with either screen tearing or frame-skipping if you don't vsync; or 1–3 frames of input lag if you do vsync and maybe triple-buffer. No way around it, I'm afraid.

(And, of course, technically speaking, an old console sending an analog signal to an old CRT isn't drawing "frames" at all; to use the correct terminology, it's drawing one of two "fields" and leaving the other one blank, which is where scan-lines come from.)
On top of that, some emulators are decently optimized and some aren't. Use FCEUX over Nestopia, and use BSNES over SNES9x.
And for fuck's sake use a CRT monitor; and either kick up USB polling up to at least 1MHz or just use an old sound card with a game-port and a proper 15-pin PC gamepad (which will require that you use either Windows XP or a Linux distro that supports sound cards with game-ports).

Wish there was an award for retards.
Do you really think the SNES does not have/use a framebuffer? Top fucking kek m8.

Nice meme, did you hear that from /vr/?
Literary 125Hz polling controller and any old 2ms flatscreen with emulation on a decent PC will be faster input lag wise then the actual thing, if we are talking NES/SNES here.
>or just use an old sound card with a game-port and a proper 15-pin PC gamepad
GamePort won't give you an edge over USB.
It's mathematical.
Not that I'm saying a good controller and CRT aren't better.
