LaunchBox set refresh rate or FPS?

I recently setup LaunchBox and notice that the interface was extremely lagging. Scrolling or filtering my games results in a lot of lag and what looks like a super low frame rate as the screen updates. I have a pretty solid gaming rig so I figure this isn't a performance issue on the hardware end, but something with LaunchBox.

I did some searching and found these old threads which indicate that the LaunchBox frame rate needs to be set OR you can disable freesync/Gsync.

I looked under Options > General (where one of the threads said to look) but I don't see an FPS option there. Is it still possible to set the FPS or refresh rate of LaunchBox?

I do have a Gsync monitor and I was able to disable it (specifically for LaunchBox only) and it seems to have mostly resolved the issue. I'd still like to try setting the fps instead to see if it gets better results (assuming that option is still available these days).

 

Thanks in advance!

In the pic I cut off the image. FPS is technically the 4th option from the bottom.

Thanks for the reply! Interesting, my interface doesn't look like that one. I'm attaching a screenshot of where I'm finding "Options" and what my dialogue looks like. I have the latest version but perhaps you are in the BigBox view? I think I'm in just the standard LaunchBox view. I also don't have premium, not sure if that matters.

So I went to record a video of the before/after but if I re-enable Gsync for LaunchBox it doesn't seem to reproduce the problem anymore. I don't think I changed anything else so I'm not sure how it corrected itself. If it returns I'll post back with a video. Thanks again for the replies.
