[SOLVED] Artifacts on laptop with intel processor

So I did a fresh install of arch linux on an old HP-250 G3 laptop.
And when trying to launch a game from steam it has horrible framerate and there are graphical errors everywhere.
Here is an example with mesa gears and gearbox https://imgur.com/a/g1dhwTK
I Installed these packages for intel and mesa:

pacman -Q | grep intel :

intel-ucode 20210216-1
lib32-vulkan-intel 20.3.4-3
vulkan-intel 20.3.4-3
xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+916+g31486f40-1

pacman -Q | grep mesa :

lib32-mesa 20.3.4-3
mesa 21.0.0-1
mesa-demos 8.4.0-4
mesa-vdpau 20.3.4-3

Try to remove xf86-video-intel and any residual configs referencing it (otherwise X11 will fail)

Edit: though likely not

Re: [SOLVED] Artifacts on laptop with intel processor

Alright I downgraded the linux package

 sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/linux/linux-5.10.12.arch1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

and it works properly now.
Thanks.
