Facing weird visual artifacts in high-spec combat in Control 2 with a SAPPHIRE RX 7650 GRE; should I use gradual rollback for the curves?

Maxing out AI sharpness is a trap in Control 2; it just turns your textures into a jagged, crunchy mess. In my first attempt to get that 'hyper-real' look, I ended up with hideous color fringes that ruined the atmosphere. The solution was tedious: a gradual rollback process where I dialed the enhancement curves back to a range of 65% - 75%. Pairing this with the dedicated NPU cores on the SAPPHIRE AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE 8G Platinum Edition allowed the visual pipeline to breathe. A color histogram check showed highlights dropping from illegal peaks back to a stable 150 - 200 range. I will be honest, the struggle with an evasive AI bug like this is exhausting. There's still a noticeable amount of grain in the shadows during low-light scenes, which makes the image feel slightly 'boiling' at times. It's a significant improvement but not a perfect reproduction, but at least the blinding halos are gone.
