Shadow Artifacts/Horizontal Lines on Shadows
I play on 2060 Super, i7 12700k, 32Gb DDR5 RAM and 980 Pro M.2 NVME SSD which I know isnt a lot, however in this game I'm having weird graphical glitches that seem to be related to shadows or some sort of volumetric fog. They show up as horizontal lines which messes up the graphical fidelity real bad.
I play with DLSS Quality on 566.36 drivers, however it never happened in TloU Part I.

Does anyone else have the same issue and if not, what would be the best way to solve this?

Just wanted to return to this after monkey-ing with it for like an hour. If you have moved to the NVIDIA App you can manually choose what version of DLSS and DLAA and all that stuff a game uses. Im not sure if there is card restrictions other than it obviously needing to be an RTX card. However I went in to the app and manually selected DLSS and DLAA version to be "LATEST". Odd that it has had a DRAMATIC effect for me, because I though Part II Remastered was supposed to be using DLSS 4 anyways (Shrug).

After doing this I have not noticed the lines at all, also the grids that would show up in some shadows is HEAVILY reduced. Hair also looks incredible outside of cut scenes. I will note, I have noticed ONE side effect crop up that may or may not have been there (unsure) I have noticed some ghosting on some materials. But honestly in the two hours ive played now, Ive noticed it twice and have been so stoked with the next DLSS version.

Additionally, I know AA is typically disabled when using upscaling, like DLSS, I just changed that setting anyways in the app to see if it did anything and weather it does, or does not, I am VERY happy with results. I only have a 4060 ti, which is using the newer tech from your 2060 super, BUT I think you should be sitting with a pretty comfy 60+ fps in mostly Mid-High.

LMK how this works for you and if you need me to clarify anything better. I gottchu.

Glad you werent having any issues with it, but it was also bothering me for about 20 hours before I literally couldnt not focus on it.

If its not affecting you, this thread's got nothing for ya. Best move along to not waste anyone's time. :winter2019happydog:

Yeah DLSS4 is available on all RTX GPUs, I used NvidiaProfileInspector to change it to latest DLL as well as K profile which makes picture even more stable.
Horizontal lines in the post are completely gone, thanks.

Lol Youre not important enough to hurt my feelings. Youre wasting everyones time by contributing nothing to the conversation. When someone asks how to fix something that is bothering them you reply with basically "Its not bothering me." It just unhelpful and pretty cringe. Clown.

*goes to HELP forums
*posts literally the least helpful thing they can conjure
*gets offended when someone tells them to stop wasting our time

Changing to newest DLSS didn't work for me. I have this black shadow lines around the screen, like a bad vignetting. Upscaling or no upscaling nothing gets rid of this effect no matter what settings. Even Part 1 has this issue.

Same "vhs effect" here. The first part also has this artifact. I also use DLSS4.
Any solution?
