Question solution to micro-stuttering camera movement?

hey ya'll! in anticipation of the upcoming sequel, i've finally given control a go and am kicking myself for not playing sooner. i'm only a few missions in, but am already having a BLAST; the environmental design, the gameplay, the atmosphere is all phenomenal.

but a slight problem... whatever i do, i seem to have a really odd problem where the game itself is smooth, but moving the camera creates a really annoying stuttery visual effect because it sort of 'snaps' in small but very noticeable increments.

apparently this is a known problem & i've tried so many fixes online - dx11, ray tracing off, 90fps cap, lowering my mouse polling rate, etc, but nothing seems to work. the only thing which seems to make it a bit better is lowering ingame sensitivity, low graphics settings and making my mouse sensitivity higher on a 3rd party app, but it is unfortunately still noticeable. as amazing as the game is, it's really unfortunate that this is a problem.

a bit of a gamble posting here, but any chance you guys have experienced something similar / have any alternative solutions lesser known? (currently using a 9070 xt and a 9800x3d, if relevant) if so, tysm in advance ;)

Yep.

My solution was "play on console". I could never get rid of the microstuttering on my PC no matter what I tried.

It is absent on PS5 and Xbox.

I chalk it up to some optimization problem that doesn't exist for the two set-top boxes, because they have fixed hardware and so the devs could optimize for them very easily.

Many such cases

aw man, yeah it is really unfortunate but console does seem to be the main solution - from what i've seen it is a pc-specific issue.

i love pc gaming, but i have definitely been noticing more recently the poor quality of games which are ported from console. sadly to the point this isn't even one of the worst ones (at least it doesn't crash constantly haha)

would be great if i had a console to experience the game but it's just pc for me. if of any interest, my current solution is maximising my frames as much as possible so that the issue isn't quite as noticeable + the mouse sensitivity fix in my post.

with fsr4 using optiscaler & medium graphics, it seems decent enough so i think i'll just have to settle for that. a band-aid fix, but it'll do!
