snow is glitched out on red dead 2 pc

it is a driver issue, reported buy a few fellow 5700 xt owners.

I'm having this problem with my 5700XT as well. It's a shame too, since otherwise Vulcan runs much better and is more stable for me. With DX12 I get more stuttering and occasional crashes (GFX_State being the most egregious). 

I've been dealing with it by using DX12 for the snow and swamp areas and switching to Vulcan for everything else. Not the most ideal workaround, to say the least.

Lots of reports for GFX_State suggesting there is a defect in the game's render code
