@puzzlezaddictthank you, I've attatched the device config below
I've taken out all my mods / UI recolour and I'm still having some graphical issues, I'll make sure GFE is off though, thank you for the suggestion!

@es_lorax Your GPU is not only recognized but rated correctly, as you probably know already, so that's not the issue. But maybe some other edit to the files is causing the problem. I do think it's worth reverting to the original .sgr files. If this helps, please post the edits you made, or the guide you followed, so I can take a look.
While you're testing, you only need to make sure GFE is not "optimizing" your graphics settings. It's fine to let the app run, or at least it should be; I don't have any issue with it and haven't seen any reports of its presence being a problem in several years.
