Which games have the best clarity? (lemm.ee)

I'm tired of every game having ghosting and soft images because of TAA, DLSS, motion blur, LoD pop-in, and low res textures. What are some good games with high visual clarity? Bonus points if it runs at high fps.

For DLSS/FSR/other upscalers: Unless the game is optimized like shit or your hardware is getting on in years, you can literally just not use those. They're only meant to give you a little boost if needed. If you can run the game at high frame rates on the settings you want without them, they're not even going to do anything but make the experience worse.

DOF, motion blur Chromatic Aberration, lens flares, bloom, etc: These are the first things I would disable in any game, ever made to use them, because they suck anyway.

I do hate how often in newer games, the only AA options are some bullshit that just smears vasoline on the edges of everything, though. But you could simply turn off AA in the game and force enable it via the GPU settings. Loads of standardized options are available from the GPU control panel on both AMD and nVidia cards and you can always force those and disable the game's methods entirely.
