I'm having very similar (basically identical) issues as the above posts with the most recent V0.3.7 S2 Beta-Public version.

I have an AMD Radeon HD 6900 GPU with the most recent non-beta drivers (15.7.1) (by the way, this card is Legacy, so it cannot have 17.2 or 17.4 driver version unfortunately).  I am on Windows 10 x64.  [Note: I initially had the Crimson Edition 16.2.1 Beta drivers (last drivers ever for this card), which I uninstalled for the non-beta/older drivers in an attempt to fix the issue.  It did not help]

The images below show additional behavior.  In the first image is the tech tree when loaded (nothing is wrong).  The second image is the edge of the tech tree when navigating around.  Additionally, there is a "blur" or "ghosting" near all entries.  The third image shows two things:  the senate breakdown chart essentially "blooms" out of control until settling on what you see in the image, and the various title text entries "bleed" slightly until settling as seen.  Finally, the last image shows some graphical issues of the lights around the planet seemingly being very blurred.

My New Game screen and a few others also overlay any dialogue box over the background without (I assume) dimming it first.   After that is my Empire screen, which is the same as the previous posters:

While I definitely don't know for sure (I'm no expert), it seems like screen refresh calls aren't happening when they should?  

I've tried setting a launch option "dx10", and have verified the files in Steam.

This happens with Fullscreen, borderless, and windowed, with and without VSync, and on all graphics levels.  I just got ES2, so I'm not sure if previous patches had this issue, though I can install them the beta list I suppose?
