Some games will want to run at a resolution different from your desktop default. You probably haven't set up your xorg.conf properly for these other resolutions.
Please post the contents of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
Please also update your profile on this forum so we know what distro you are using.

Hello nganba,

Welcome to Linux Questions!

One more reason:-

Some games do require more resources when they do not get those,
system become unable to provide enough screen data to the monitor
and in turn it becomes out of sync.

Check out if your machine supports these games and also try to reduce useless services.

Hope this helps you
