Ok so I've had this issue for years. Over many games and many different builds. Idk what the hell it is and idk where to even start for a Google search. It's like this crap where every time I look at a skybox in a game or a dark area with smoke and a flashlight or some other kind of light source this happens. It looks like a bunch of lines and circles around the light or particle effect, such as smoke. I've tried messing with all of my brightness, contrast, and gamma settings and nothing has ever worked. Can anyone help me diagnose this and possibly, hopefully, resolve it. It's incredibly bad in resident evil 2 (2019) and bf5.

EDIT:
Windows 10
GTX 1080ti 12gb gpu
32gb DDR4 3200mhz ram
intel 7700k @4.5ghz cpu
Asus z270f mobo
EVGA 850w psu

These screenshots show the distortion and pixelation I deal with in shadowy and dark areas.
