Extreme graphical glitches and artefacts

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug Extreme graphics issues when playing
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I am not quite sure, if its a settings or a hardware thing. Pretty much without fail, one of the issues i am seeing happens after 1-2 hours ingame, then the graphical errors occur. So much, that i pretty much have to restart the game to get a playable experience.
What happens when the bug occurs? Massice graphical errors, from things on the minimap having a sort of "TV static" like effect, to the ingame sky having a similar effect to complete glitching out of the textures ingame. Sometimes my car headlights have a rasterization effect.
What do you expect to see? A clean, pretty game experience instead of glitches.

My PC Specs:
CPU: Intel I9-9900KF (not over or underclocked)
GPU: MSI RTX 3080 Suprim 10G (not over or underclocked)
RAM: 32 GB 3600MHz Crucial Ballistix CL16-18-18-38 (4x8GB Sticks)
MB: MSI Z390 MAG Tomahawk
SSD1: Patrio Viper VPN1000 256GB M.2 SSD (where Origin Launcher is stored)
SSD2: Samsung QVO 860 1TB S/ATA (where the game itself is stored)
PSU: Corsair TX850

Temps are fine on both the GPU(~70°) and CPU(~80°).

My ingame graphics settings are:
Motion Blur: Off
Colorblind mode: Off
Screen mode: Fullscreen
Res: 3840x2160

Vsync: On
Dyn. Res. scaling: off (option is locked)
Upsampler: DLSS
Upsampler preset: perf.
upsampler sharpening: 50%
nvidid refl. low lat.: on
Graph. quali.: custom
text. quali: ultra
Shadow quali.: ultra
text. filtering: ultra
ambi. occlu.:AAO
effects detail: high
geom. detail: ultra
anti alias.: TAA (option is locked)
terra. quali.: ultra
veget. detail: ultra
post process quali.: high
lighting quali.: ultra
depth of field: ultra
reflection quali.: ultra

I would insert pictures of the glitches here but the file size is too large. Instead, here is a link to a dropbox folder i created:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lckg70ue3zk7wq4/AABy-s806Eke54tFiMh5Rjl2a?dl=0

I have not really tried any steps to solve this myself, other than setting the resolution back down to 1080p which did not help.

@SuShade33 This is crazy. I do not know yet how. But I am not able to find it in game today. :D Only thing I have done was to open NVidia Experience and let it optimize game GPU settings for me. After that no artefacts yet.

Hi SuShade33,
is NFS:Unbound only game you are facing glitches? This seems more to faulty GPU. I see that you have all on ultra setting and you have tried to lower resolution only, if I get that right. This will not help much, if you do not lower other settings too.
You are writing that temperatures are OK. Is this same at the time, when game crashes?

Hi again,
I ust find out same behavior when I set graphics to ULTRA. My GPU is ASUS ROG STRIX 3060 Ti. Try to set texture setting to HIGH if it helps. If this is not GPU problem, maybe it is problem of textures on ULTRA.
There are missing textures on some game objects.
Got another one. Missing textures on grass.
My GPU is ASUS ROG STRIX 3060 Ti.

Hi,
This looks exactly like the problems I'm seeing. I will try lowering the settings to High and playing for a few hours and see, if that fixes the problem.
I'd say it's very unlikely that my GPU is faulty, I'm playing quite some newer triple A titles on ultra in 4k without any problems. It's just Unbound that's giving me problems...
Thank you for your answers till now, I'll report back with (hopefully good) feedback.

Hi again,

After i also optimized the game with GeForce Experience and had a session that lasted for ~3 hours, everything looked fine!
Thanks again, i hope this will be a permanent solution, for now i will choose your answer as the solution.

Same issue, game seems to be running fine @ 60fps.
However, the whole screen textures glitch at 4K resolution at Ultra settings
What i found is Going to custom, keep all at Ultra but reducing Reflection quality to Medium solves it (Geforce Exp Optimized option also did same when compared)
I dont know if they have 4K resolution reflection textures or mine is having some corrupt files.
