I initially thought this was an issue with Elden Ring, but as it turns out it affected all 3D games installed on my PC.
This issue happens only to 3D games but not to 2D pixel art games. The games where I tested/experienced this issue are the following:
This is also in reference to a previous issue I had that was fixed by updating the BIOS. The issue stated above is sorta like what was left from the original issue.
