Display Issues after updating Linux Kernel

Hi,

I'm using a Wayland KDE setup and ever since the latest update the display has been acting up. As in the contents "underneath" windows (e.g. the desktop or the wallpaper or other apps under the current app) show through partially or fully in rectangular formats. They flicker into existence and flicker out within a second and this happens way too frequently that this is distracting. I've been using Firefox, Konsole and Dolphin mainly and I noticed this across all these apps, but I'm sure this happens over all apps.

This issue doesn't happen during boot, or video playback. I thought it was maybe something to do with when the screen updates, but even on idle this issue occurs. I have an ROG Strix with Nvidia 4050, with integrated AMD graphics.
I've also tried reinstalling Arch Linux but that didn't fix it.

Please let me know what to do and what the problem is.

It might be the same kind of issue, but I would like to debug this without NVIDIA drivers being in play ...
