PC Drivers & Software

Trying to test out my first GPU (RX 6750 XT) to make sure everything is working okay and on the first game I try (Sea of Thieves) I notice the AMD Software FPS counter doesn't match the in-game counter.  For example, Adrenalin will report say 93fps while the game will report 65fps.  If I turn on vsync the game appears to change correctly to 60fps, while the Adrenalin count remains seemingly high.  Since I'm launching the game from the Xbox app I also checked the Xbox Game Bar and it agrees with the in-game counter.

Not sure if I should consider this an issue or maybe some games just don't play nicely with AMD Software?

Actually, in general, I'm now wondering if I can count on the Adrenalin FPS value being reliable.

Let me try to simplify this:  Has anybody else seen the AMD Software FPS reading differ significantly from what other software reports?

Yes.

I don't know what causes it but yes. I stopped using Adrenaline for the framerate readings and started using Rivatuner. It is packaged with MSI Afterburner but I just disable MSI Afterburner auto start and use Rivatuner. It also has a FPS Limiter you can set to make sure your FPS don't go out of control. I also use Steam FPS readings and they seem to be the same as Rivatuner.
