Soo... Seems like another person that doesn't read descriptions precisely enough?
Hmm... i don't remember peak frame rate being equal to avg frame rate limit. FRTC isn't quite sets framerate limit. It sets framerate TARGET and still allows dynamic frametime in range. So basically game runs as normal, just max FPS isn't decided by max load or power on GPU, it is set by FRTC instead. So AVG FPS will ALWAYS be lower than PEAK. It actually may help with games where frametimes are going all over place (but it is impossible to set it for specific game in per-game settings)
Anyways. If you want to force LIMIT FPS, NOT SET TARGET, then use either in game means, or something like RivaTuner. It also can set frametime limit instead of framerate.

That's how framepacing graph looks with FRTC, as it doesn't enforce timers for frames (i set limit for 148 despite having 144 Hz). It isn't syncing frames with monitor anyways.
And that's how looks framerate limit enforced by RivaTuner, because it enforces timers on both rendering and outputing of frames.

Also i don't get slowdowns. FPS drops can happen everywhere, and it isn't always GPU's fault (engine, asset loading, RAM, CPU waiting cycle etc.), so no limits will save you from them. With FRTC and RivaTuner limits Witcher felt really smooth. No issues. 6750XT 22.10.3
In addition, one question... WHY? Why would you want to limit your FPS to below max monitor refresh rate?
Freesync only works when FPS dips BELOW max refresh rate and basically syncs your monitor refresh rate (in Hz), with in-game frames (FPS) up until lowest possible point (then it begins to output 1 frame per 2 monitor refreshes, which can sometimes be seen as hitch as it goes from 1:1 to 1:2. GSync actually more known for that from what i know). If you have FPS higher than or equal to refresh rate it will just sync up authomatically to closest output. VSync forces FPS to be synced with refresh rate, limiting it. While Enchanced sync allows FPS go wild, while syncing frames to closest outputs, while dismissing ones that were too frequent (like -*-/*--/-*-/*-*/--*/-*-/, etc. bolded and underlined * will represent thrown out frame, while others will be shown at next "/" representing monitor refresh). But both VSync and Enchanced sync work when FPS is higher or equal to monitor refresh rate
Freesync is basically reverse VSync, which works in times when FPS dips below monitor refresh rate, causing monitor by ITSELF to slow down it's refreshes so frames would output in 1:1 (well until they will come so slow that intervals will hit lower refresh rate border of freesync)

TL:DR: It isn't problem. Everything works like intended. Just not the way TS thought it would work.
