Summary	0005502: Broken rendering of prefabs in Prefab Chooser preview on AMD cards
Description	Now that 0005455 has given us a better view of TDM's prefabs, I've noticed that larger prefabs have a tendency to look quite garbled, in particular because caulk and decals have a bad habit of rendering in front of everything else. I assume this is because of the far-clip plane in the preview, since I see similar behaviour when enabling the far-clip plane in the regular Camera settings. Maybe we could shift more towards quality, rather than speed, with hardware advances in recent years? Maybe even an option to disable far-clip plane in the preview, in Preferences.

I'm on an AMD RX 460, and bikerdude reports having seen something similar on an AMD RX 570 he once had. Maybe a workaround would be to add an option to turn off the far-clip plane in the prefab chooser?
