Hello
Please help my with my problem I'm struggling with from few days till now.
The problem is present in Windows 7 and is about pcsx2 - the infamous ps2 emulator, don't had this in other games/emulators, but it seems to be problem with vsync.
I have aero enabled which gives me vsync all the time, also in pcsx2, I get no screen tearing without enabling vsync opton in emu settings which is nice boost to speed BUT now for the problem.

All tested games are running in 59-60fps all the time, Scaling 3x, texture filtering full, DX11 (usually, sometimes DX9 gives less glitches), wildarms offset hw hack and 8bit filterng sometimes.
Nevertheless my games (every single one) is having video stuttering -plays smooth and after few seconds going like frameskip or lower fps for about 2-3 seconds, then fluid again, no sound distortion at all, fps still showing as 60.

I figured that this problem can be eliminated by turning on v sync option in pcsx2, don't have a clue why?? but anyway, sadly this gives REAL fps drops in some games (slower game, sound stutter, 45-50 fps shown).

I actually tried to use some program called D3DOverrider, enabling vsync and triple buffering by this - some guy on the forum listed this as best solution for my problem, then again same fps drops like while vsync enabled thru pcsx2.

Turning on high performance doesn't give any boost, and even when I get those REAL fps drops due to the vsync applied, my processor usage is about 60%...

I tried so far:

Tried enabling vsync and triple buffering via nvidia control panel (pcsx2 vsync off) to remove stuttering but this didn't work that way - gave me no tearing but standard stutter.

Tried disabling aero and disabling vsync in pcsx2 - had tearing AND stuttering, worst scenario.

Tried enabling vsync in pcsx2 with windows aero on, had perfect screen without tearing and stuttering BUT slow performance.

Tried using D3DOverrider with vsync and triple buffering ON, aero on, vsync in pcsx2 off, same as above - would LOVE to finally achieve no stuttering and no tearing and also normal speed like when disabled v sync I know this just MUST be achievable some way.

Tried limiting frames to 60 via dxtory, didn't give any better results.

Only thing that eliminates this stuttering is turning wait for vsync ON in pcsx2 program, I wonder what is specific about this option...
 
Sound settings are pretty standard so I think there must be a problem with buffering/ vsync, nothing except turning on vsync via pcsx2 seems to help at all, and turning this on drop performance significantly.

Are there any setting to framebuffer or double buffering / vsync in windows that I could try?
