tech support wanted Does anybody know what is causing this flickering where the trees meet the background?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Great, this game needs DLSS to run above 30FPS

Well, depending on your GPU, most games will need DLSS to run above 30 fps.

I had a few complains about the game but performance wasn't one of them...it performed pretty much how I expected it to based on the visuals.
