The shadows in Ghost of Yotei's snowy vistas are crawling with noise; should I tweak the contrast weights and algorithm suppression to rebuild the visual pipeline entirely?

Testing revealed a nasty synergy between AI sharpening and the electronic noise generated by the GPU under full load, making the shadows look like a swarm of ants. [GPU-Z clocked the core jumping between 2100MHz - 2250MHz], which mirrored as screen jitter. My first instinct was to nuke the sharpening slider, but that just left the world looking like it was smeared in Vaseline. The real fix was diving into the advanced filter panel and dropping the dynamic contrast weight by 15% - 20% while enabling spatial anti-aliasing sampling. [GamePP showed 1% lows stabilizing around 45fps - 52fps], and [NVIDIA Overlay verified input lag between 12ms - 18ms], making the experience feel organic again. The catch? A subtle trailing effect during fast camera pans that just won't go away. I spent a whole week thinking a driver update would be the magic bullet, but it is actually a fundamental algorithm flaw handling high-contrast snow scenes. It's not absolute perfection, and that lack of total clarity is honestly a bit frustrating, but my eyes can finally relax.
