[Q] How important is the Frame Limit mod?

[ThreeSon]

On my PC (Windows 7 Pro, core i7 6700K, GTX 980 Ti), when I install SADX using the default "Dreamcast" setting and play the game with the Frame Limit mod on, I get persistent stutter at a regular tempo during in-engine cutscenes, where it appears the FPS is being limited to 29.4. There is no stutter during gameplay though, and there the FPS appears to be capped at 58.8.

With the Frame Limit mod disabled, in-engine cutscenes are capped at 30.3 FPS and gameplay at 62.5, and the stutter during the cutscenes is gone.

So problem solved, but I'm just wondering if there are any problems with the game caused by playing without that Frame Limit mod activated. Particularly with the gameplay being over 60 FPS - is that going to cause problems with physics or anything else while playing?

I installed a completely clean version of BetterSADX v4.4.5, over a clean install of the base SADX game.

Frame Limit doesn't need to be on. Even important mods are optional, as it's based on personal preference.

Thanks. Do you know why it was created then? Is there some advantage to running the game at 58.8 FPS?

It's to speed up the cutscenes.
