Why are character faces blurry in Mass Effect with Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6800MHz 16GB?

Close-ups in Mass Effect looked like they had a soft-light filter; hair details were gone. I tried DLSS Balanced, but it made the blur worse despite a slight FPS bump. Using GamePP DLSS/FSR Image Sampler, I raised sharpening intensity from 50 to 72 and set render resolution to 100%. RivaTuner confirmed the pixel density increase, and HWiNFO showed stable temps at 56-62℃. The visuals are crisp now.
