This is far more likely the reason rather than "intentionally" gimping one side. That "appears" to be the difference between nvidia and amd when it generally comes to these things, nvidia seem to want active input and have a real say in how, where and when to apply and use said effects where as amds approach always comes across as "here's our solution, open source, use as you please" i.e. over the fence, not our problem anymore. Of course, nothing wrong with either approach and there are pros/cons to both methods.

Ha, sorry.Not seen that myself, although I bet i see it now it's been pointed out!
Either way it's much better than the blurring when moving, that was pretty much unplayable for me.
Frustrating there's these issues, the keybind one is ridiculous, how that got past QC I'll never know
I have the key bind issue myself, as I changed the jump key from spacebar and I still have to use spacebar at times or jump does not work.

Skimmed through that guide (not yet bought the game though) but I found the one and only comment most useful from those tips:
No worries, I'm sure I have sharpness filter invulnerability anyway, never notice the issues people report on other games (or just have bad eyes ....)
For the keybinds try this

Worked for me but I've not got too far in the game yet
With regards to the "intentional" gimping of fsr claim earlier, another persons views on it (far more valid reasoning too....):

Thanks for the mod and info. I've noticed the flickering since day one, its worse if you stand still and move the mouse slowly so the screen updates a pixel at a time, but it seems to go if the sharpness is below 50. If you look for it DLSS is terrible 
it can't handle trees and leaves and they have a trail behind as they move across the screen. The game looks like a really polished game from 2015, but that's not the point really, the main issue is PC gamers kinda expect to be able to play around with all the settings and have options other than TAA. Actually the most fun I've had is doing the power station puzzles

What's the summary for this, is it worth a buy?

Not played it myself (have to finish Dying Light 1 first) but have heard if you like the first you like this one too.
Also, here is CohhCarnages thoughts about it if you want a streamers input about the game.

How are you getting on @Nexus18 ?
I have done everything there is to do in the first area so far, plus everything in downtown section. Working on getting up all the windmills and resting areas, power stations, metro’s and bandit camps at the moment
The plan is to basically do as much as I can do before continuing the story. Probably a good 10-15 hours of content at least I would imagine before I am done and move to story missions.
Still really enjoying it. Love kicking the bandits flying off buildings. Kicked one of the lieutenants off while liberating a bandit camp by mistake. Easy kill, but then you miss out on the loot, as who can be asked to chase down where the body landed after

You do realise that your original ridiculous statement claimed that there was not a single issue with this game. I showed one single area where it was demonstrably and objectively broken (mouse and key binds) for absolutey everyone. You made a ridiculous statement and when it was showed to be ridiculous your retort is, "try another game".
Sorry to offend you with my love for the game. I can only speak from my own experience. If you're not having fun then try another game? I don't see what the problem is. I guess smashing zombies in the face isn't fun for you :/

Oh yea, that happened to me too
Well she only did it once right in my face. Basically I think it is the way it is designed so each time you use the door the baddy catches up even if far behind. Poorly designed really, but was more funny than anything for me
Lol, still sticking with the same illogical nonsense of "game is perfect for me so it's perfect for everyone". You made a claim that was not remotely accurate. I am not offended, I find it funny to be honest. It's like dealing with a flat earther.

Not sure about broken, but there certainly are some bugs, though nothing to write home about in my experience so far. Certainly in better shape than Cyberpunk
I think these days if you want a bug free triple a game you need to wait at least a year or even better for a version of the game with all major story dlc etc in 2-3 years time. Should not be the case, but it is what it is. I can’t be asked to wait when it is a must play game for me though, as these days I get like one or two of those a year.

Bug wise this game isn't too bad, its just not that enjoyable. Can't quite see what the issue is but if you find yourself without a side mission and a reason to go tearing around the map the sandbox world doesn't feel too convincing with the same dialogue being used by NPCs etc. Yeah I did have the NPC slam doors in my face during a key running away sequence that was extremely funny it went full GTA script style at that point.
it went full GTA script style at that point.- You have to guess how some ropes are going to handle; normal sandbox physics or helping hand script mode.
- The camera is fixed while paragliding, but I'm pretty sure people can still move their head around irl.
- For some reason gas canisters don't get set off unless you get really close, like the auto aim is auto missing, but auto aim isn't a thing for mouse users? I'm in range as the knife hits zombies.
- it doesn't run fast enough on a 3070, need a future 4080, and they will cost £4080
- DLSS is blurry
- its blurry
- moving makes it look blurry
- the tress and leaves are blurry
- massive rain blobs on the lens make it look blurry
