The AMD Radeon HD 5800 series is part of the [AMD Radeon HD 5000 series ]] and the GPUs have the old TeraScale 2 micro-architecture. The https:*www.blender.org/download/requirements/ for Blender 2.8x and 2.9x state that [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units#Features_Overview | GCN first generation or later is required for running Blender.

Supported Graphics Cards

NVIDIA: GeForce 400 and newer, Quadro Tesla GPU architecture and newer, including RTX-based cards, with NVIDIA drivers (list of all [GeForce ]] and [ https:*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Quadro#Quadro_FX_(with_CUDA_and_OpenCL,_but_no_Vulkan) | Quadro GPUs)

AMD: GCN 1st gen and newer (list of all AMD GPUs )

Intel: Haswell and newer (list of all Intel GPUs )

macOS: version 10.13 or newer with supported hardware

Unfortunately, this means that your GPU is below the minimum requirements and we don't provide support for it. Graphics glitches and even crashes due to unpatched bugs in the graphics driver can occur on unsupported hardware. Sometimes these issues can be resolved by updating the graphics driver, if a new version exists, despite not being officially supported anymore. If this doesn't help then you have to use a previous release of Blender with lower requirements.

Please create a new report in case the issue is also happening on a system that fulfills the minimum requirements and uses a current graphics driver.
