Graphics Driver update makes FF brick my CPU

[Rhoewynn]

So I called off work to take a relaxing day tomorrow 08/30, and I noticed that a graphics driver was pending, i'm running AMD ryzen 5 5500 for CPU and this is where the issues are happening because earlier today I was playing final fantasy absolutely fine with no issues, it barely went above 53C but tonight at 2230, I updated my graphics driver and during the loading screen to even click "PLAY" my CPU shoots to 75+C. What the heck happened? And is there an easy way to fix this? Any help is appreciated, thank you

Hello, you could use a frame limiter. The Nvidia control panel and AMD Adrenalin have one.
