Framerate weirdness - Help! - FIXED THANKS

[Scoops]

EDIT:

I am not sure if the last AMD driver update had anything to do with this but the frame generation, despite not initially saying it was in in the driver options, was on as suspected. It finally showed that it was on and not off. Switching it then has fixed it and I am now back to a solid 60fps with no screen tearing although if I has a 120hz monitor (or more) then I probably would never have noticed!

Thanks all! Original post below...

Hi all...

I installed Elden Ring on my desktop and the first time I ran it, it worked at 60fps without issue and looked great as it is within the freesync range of my monitor (up to 80hz). I fired it up yesterday and I noticed that the image was less stable than before and was showing tearing.

The Steam fps counter was showing 60fps but the AMD Adrenaline stats are showing the game running at 120fps. I get that the game is only designed to run at 60fps but the tearing seems to confirm that the game is running at 120fps and therefore outside of the freesync range.

It is like frame generation is turned on, but it isn't. I just want the game to run at 60hz without any tearing but no matter what I try with the AMD drivers they keep saying they are generating 120fps. Does anyone have any idea what is going on or what the solution might be?

Thanks!

Thanks for the response - I will double check later although I am not sure it explains why AMD thinks I am generating double the frames!

This game has 60fps lock so it's not possible to run it in 120fps unless you're playing offline with mods, the only possibility is Fluid Motion Frames (it's a sort of Frame Generation) or whatever it's called it should be in AMD GPU software somewhere, i got nvidia myself so no idea where it is exactly.
