Grainy shadows

I don't know if anyone already asked this but some shadows look so grainy. I have shadows quality on High and soft shadows on medium. Any tips to fix this?

Sadly that's how this game works. I don't remember grainy shadows in GTA V. But RDR 2 has it. It was the same for consoles as well.

Turning soft shadows off helped me.

Can confirm. Shadows look much better IMO.

Had the same problem with soft shadows set to medium. Setting it to high did the trick. Normal shadows are also set to high. Yeah, it's still a little grainy, but pretty acceptable to me. But i play @ 4k, (0,75x), so the shadows have a high resolution and look very decent.

 

I wouldn't recommend to disable soft shadows at all, because they do look more realistic than these sharp edged shadows.

This appeared to be more prevalent in DX12 than Vulkan for me - try switching between to see if there is any discernible difference
