Game exhibiting the issue

Super Mario Sunshine, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Describe the issue

Disabling VSync and letting the fps go to the maximum of the monitor speeds up these games to above 100%. This can be very minor, as in Melee this only happens when the game is loading, the audio is sped up. In other cases it makes the game unplayable as with Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3 and Mario Sunshine. These games are running at way too fast to play.

Easiest to test are Resident Evil 2 and 3 because the intro cinematic and gameplay demo that occurs after sitting in the main menu for a few seconds exhibit this issue.

Log Output

The added log is from a run of Resident Evil 3 (USA).
