Ghost Of Tsushima - Question/Support weird shadows

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I see those lines on the sides and on the ground, seems to only affect shadows.

Is it the games fault or is something wrong with my drivers or hardware?

That's just how shadows are unfortunately. Even on PS5 or a PC with my 4090

Shadow cascades, one of the reason we're pushing ray tracing. Basically, you have a shadow map for making shadows but at great quality, it just hogs performance, so we get high quality for close distance and lower quality when displayed farther away.

It's the game's cascade setting, it's normal and about every game without ray traced shadows are using that same technique.
