Horizon Forbidden West - Exploring the Tower of Tears / Rescuing Poseidon pt 1 (PC 4K HDR)

Ryzen 5 3600 @ 4.1gHz
32 GiB RAM
NVME
MSI RTX 4090 Suprim Liquid X
3440x1440
All settings to max.
DLSS OFF
Frame Generation OFF
XeSS Native AA
Nvidia Reflex OFF
Notes on settings: the DLSS + FG performance is staggering - FPS never drops below 150 and usually averages 180+ - however the temporal blurring and smearing from the AI frames as well as the smearing from the AI temporal antialiasing can be really distracting. Turning off DLSS and FG with DLAA reduced my FPS to around 60 and lower. And as I said, still had the distracting smearing and blurring.
Changing to XeSS AA not only removed the smearing artifacts of DLAA, but it also improved FPS to an average in the high 80's and only dips down to the mid 70's for intensive scenes. Additionally I feel the quality of AA is much better, provides better color/light accuracy, as well as preserving small details.
Reflex is off because I was noticing the mouth animations in the real-time cutscenes were not matching the acting or words. My jitter doesn't seem to have changed at all vs having it on.
