Terrible ghosting while DLSS is turned on

[Cupcake]

I tried use the settings without FG on and only turn on DLSS Quality.

The ghosting effects in the snowy season has the worst ghosting i ever seen. Is there any way to fix this issue? Does Nvidia or Ubisoft know about this?

Can confirm. DLSS 4 through NVIDIA app enabled for me and it seems to make it worse.
CPU: 9800X3d
GPU: 4070 Super
RAM: 32gb DDR5
Storage: SSD
Win11 24H2

Monitor 165hz HDR OLED, all resolutions at 1440p

The effect is particularly bad with heavy fog in winter, extremely distracting

idk if it's me but I realized the ghosting was reduced significantly when I use default DLSS Preset E (CNN Model). Previously I used the Transformer model Preset K (latest). That's the one that caused huge ghosting effects.

Thank you for your replies and specifications.

I see you both use high refresh screens. Are you using G-Sync as well?
If yes, try disabling it and see if the ghosting improves.

Also, try lowering the refresh rate to 120Hz-144Hz for a test and try the game again.

G-Sync disabled because there was screen flickering.
It turns out the issue is DLSS Preset K (Transformer Model) was the problem. right now, I chose Preset E (CNN Model) the default version selected by AC Shadows. No Ghosting.

Hello Cupcake. Thank you for the information about Presets. I'm happy to hear that the issue has been resolved.
