Checklist

I have searched for a similar issue in this repository and did not find one.

Description

Currently we're forced to use mailbox mode by default on supported hardware (correct me if i'm wrong). It's okay for tearing elimination while keeping frame latency low, but it'd be great to have the option (GUI, config, doesn't matter) to set immediate mode for maximum responsiveness, as well as FIFO for smoother experience. It may be also useful to allow tearing for VRR displays.

Reason

For more flexible presentation settings (without the need to tinker with your GPU driver).

Examples

Any other popular emulators allows you to change this one way or another (Y*zu, Dolphin, Xenia, PCSX2).
