Nope, it's ghosting caused by the use of temporal anti aliasing in the game. Ghosting is a common tell of TAA in a game, and it shows up for me despite playing on a 1ms response monitor (not that response time would cause ghosting anyway, but still).
Ghosting absolutely is a symptom of a poor response time. This information is ubiquitous. 1ms makes little difference as any monitor under 8 or even 12ms should have virtually none or an imperceptible amount.
Anyway, my monitor is 5ms and seated directly behind my wheel, and I have absolutely zero ghosting. If you’re experiencing this, I guarantee it is because of your hardware configuration.
