I was interested in that too, so I started a thread: Asus MG279Q Refresh Rates
With freesync monitors you can create a custom resolution with 108Hz refresh rate and MK will run smooth.
Just make sure the game switches resolutions inside mame.
As for actually mame engaging freesync, I don't know...
I read that GSync performs well with mame and MK runs at native 54Hz smoothly.
