Tweak lightning, gamma, color mapping, tweak in post - choose any combination

Shadows depends on lightning. What lamps are you using? Stairs example shows not fast GI setting. Try Irradiance Map + Light Cache.

Sun in Sun mode or not? May be shadow bias is too big or beam radius too low (it depends on scene scale)

Sorry, but I am very beginner and I don't know what are the Irradiance Map + Light Cache.

GI panel: Primary bounces Irradiance Map, Secondary bounces: Light Cache
