Watch the video. He explains why and how to overcome it. It actually comes down to an engine limitation/bug that was present in GTAV as well.
On my i5 the game just freezes.
It is not horrible - it is better. There are only 2 settings for it, and Medium aligns with all console versions. It is using the alpha shell techniqueBeen watching some comparisons on Youtube... So what's up with horrible looking fur shader in PC version? It looks even worse in motion. And it's not just this bear, but all fur, such as that on winter clothing, etc. Looks like some weird sampling issue. PS4 Pro fur looks the best to me, where as XBX looks a step down from PS4 Pro and PC looks the worst of the three platforms.

Basically, the higher the output resolution increases their fidelity like hair fins. Likewise, increasing the amount of shell layers, makes them look more and more like full strands.
PC Hair High
X1X Hair:
PC Hair Medium
With less layers of shells (like on X1X or medium) you can literally see the shell/layer structure. And if held close to the camera, you can see the effect rapidly break down as it looks like Sif in Darksouls.
I still have some freezing with this method, but it's better and I keep a consistent 50-60 via Gsync and it's great. They still need to fix this hitching with i5 CPUs
That's debatable. In this particular case the art seem to be tailored for a lower resolution rendering on consoles and simply increasing the resolution may produce perceptually worse results.
It's not the only game like this. In my testing of Watch Dogs 2's performance scaling on a Ryzen 1700X, I found similar results. 8c8t had worse stuttering than 4c8t.
Yes! It's a great technique, though I never knew results could look this good. It's also been used quite a bit in the Skyrim mod scene:It is not horrible - it is better. There are only 2 settings for it, and Medium aligns with all console versions. It is using the alpha shell technique

I really do not think it was arted to just look like medium (console). I think it is not an artistic question as to which looks better:
Indeed. PS4 shows a blurry mess, Xbox One slightly more detail. Both consoles show artefacts at the edge of the fur, same as PC. At least PC shows a lot more detail and color on the fur.

Don't know how it looks in motion, but to my eyes PC High hair is looking noticeably better in both captured scenes.I really do not think it was arted to just look like medium (console). I think it is not an artistic question as to which looks better:

That does not mean I would not prefer another hair/fur technique - but arguing which is artist intended when the medium/x1x version produces results like the above... yeah I am not believing that.
Since when is less sample counts for an effect something we consider better?
never, thats when. Its without a doubt the PC fur looks much better and both your screenshots prove that.
please just let it die :'(
I'm sorry, come again??
I imagine texture mods will be some of the first things released (I hope)Textures are not that bad (on Ultra, at least) as some are complaining here. Obviously, a game of this scale will never look 100% pristine texture-wise (at least with the current process of creating textures) - but it looks quite good to me:
... in this case, i think i would prefer the first variant though. Look at those ugly ass seams!We've come a long way 😎
It's not just Ryzen 3000, nor is it just MSI.
Pretty sure im on average 50fps now instead of the nice 60 i had before but by god it is worth it for the full 1440p.
The plot thickens.
Haven't played the game much yet, still in the snowy beginning parts. What I did notice is vulkan prevents VRR from working for me if I have vsync disabled in the game. DX12 doesn't do that.
