Weird screen artifacts

Hello everyone.

I just installed archlinux today. Everything is working proprely, i set up nvidia and prime nvidia to manage my two graphics cards (amd as integrated and nvidia as dedicated cards) and everything is working fine.

However, I experienced a screen glitch problem. When i move an element or when i scroll, the bottom of my screen show frenetically little colored square.

It's very weird and i can't figure out why this is happening.

Thanks for your help.

Re: Weird screen artifacts

You'll first and foremost have to provide some details on the setup.
What display server/wayland compositor? Does it matter?
(Do you get the same w/ an openbox session)?

What GPU are you running the display server on? Which GPU is the output attached to?
Can you record the artifact / link a screenshot?
