Framerate Cap Option Will Not Work When FSR 3.1 Frame Generation Is On

Issue Type (Required):

Performance

Issue Description (Required):

I have an RTX3060Ti, and run the game with DLSS, and with framerate capped.
After FSR3.1 frame generation got introduced few months ago, I left that option on, as I did see some noticeable improvements in FPS for certain scenarios; not to mention that this is the only way for my GPU to get frame generation technology as my card does not support DLSS 3.

I haven’t paid much attention until recently, but I noticed that my GPU fans run louder(faster) in lobby as opposed to when I am in a match.
I turned on the FPS counter, and the framerate in lobby was hitting 180, which is way beyond the cap that I’ve set.

I turned off the FSR3.1 Frame Generation, and the lobby’s framerate went back to the cap that I’ve set at.

I do run mods, but I disabled those to make sure.

In short, DLSS’s framerate cap does not work in the lobby when FSR3.1 Frame Generation option is turned on. Framerate cap will work ingame, however. It would be nice if it works in both circumstances.

[PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

Yes, and I’ve tried disabling them

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

Update 12/23/204
I updated the motherboard bios due to the other issues and this framerate cap issue seems to be resolved?

I honestly have no clue why and how it resolved. Nvidia driver had been 566.36 when the problem occured, which is their latest game-ready driver release as of posting this reply.

problem is recurring after a single match

It is doubled because of framegen.

That just means that framegen doesn’t work in actual game other than lobby since my fps cap is working there.

Mine caps at 240, set to 120, ingame.
