Graphical Artifacting in Menu Screen

[joetactic]

I'm having some trouble with graphics on the tab menu. This is what it looks like without artifacts:

I upgraded my PC and this happened afterwards. The save is from my previous PC:
i7 9700f
RTX 2070s
16gb RAM
SSD
Windows 10
4k Monitor 60hz
Played mostly on 4k low settings DLSS balanced

My new PC specs are these:
i7 265k
RTX 5080
32gb RAM
SSD
Windows 11
4k Monitor with HDR 120hz

Maybe it doesn't like the switch to a new computer, or it doesn't have HDR working properly. I thought it could be the film grain effect but disabling that did not help. It also happens on the digipick screen. Has anyone had any similar issues? Most of the graphical glitch threads I looked up were from much earlier and unrelated issues.

Edit: It definitely has to do with the HDR. After messing with the contrast and brightness settings in Starfield the artifacting is still there but different looking. I'm a noob to HDR seems like it is easy to set up incorrectly in different games has anyone had luck with their HDR and display settings in the game

Probably -not- the HDR if it simply changes it's appearance.

Sidenote: since you changed GPU from a 20 to a 50, you might also want to clean Starfield's cache.

First suspect: the drivers in use with the new GPU. Do a clean uninstall using DDU, download new drivers fresh, then install after a fresh boot (right after DDU cleaning). Before launching SF, do a full file validation. If that fixes it, great.

If still not fixed, it might be an issue with the new GPU - try dropping your old one back in and swapping back to the drivers you used to use. Artifacting on the screen like that can either be from the GPU itself, or the vRAM in some cases. And it most often presents when one of the two is damaged, or overclocked too far. Drivers are a close 3rd possibility, but you'd have replaced them by now for either test.

This is an issue with the RTX 50 series, same with my 5090. Link to Nvidia forum regarding the issue: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/geforce-graphics-cards/5/557039/starfield-artifacts-with-50805090/

I kinda miss my 2070s but yeah the 50 series cards have more bugs than AMD used to so hopefully they get ironed out.
