- Artifacts in-game totally does not look like TAA softness and in the registry settings "ScreenAA" is mentioned; most likely pointing to FXAA as that is often referred to as "screen anti-aliasing" in the world. Also, foliage shows lots of shimmering with all settings to Ultra and FSR 1.0 off, most likely also ruiling out any MSAA and TAA.
