4K Max, Native, 9070 XT. 400% zoom (16:1 in pixels). Look at the reliefs in the “walkway”: that’s a mix of geometry and Displacement mapping. For example, the edges highlighted in yellow have a straight 45% chamfer in geometry (upper image, Displacement = Off).

In the lower image (Displacement = High) those chamfers are more rounded. The stones in general look worn out, weathered: way more realistic. However, look also at the parts in red circles where we can see very odd changes of color. This is not intentional, it’s a rendering bug.

This was covered already by reviewers, like Digital Foundry showing how this interacted badly with DLSS/RR. The game was patched to improve those problems somewhat and also to add an option to control the level of Displacement because it still causes all sorts of artifacts.
