SUMMARY
After my pc has been running for a while i will get black bars that flash/disappear/reappear when i move my mouse.
this has been driving me mad.

it may be after the nvidia card it used at high power for a while? 

im using x11 and nvidia 3060 ti connected to a acer monitor

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
i think it is 
run a game to stress a NVIDIA DGPU in full screen then stop
and use kde do most of the stuff that causes a effect (moving over the sidebar taskbar alt-tabing)

OBSERVED RESULT
random back bars flashing/disappear/reappear hurting my eyes after play games
then move mouse over most of stuff like sidebars with effects or the taskbar
 
and if i move a window over where it is flashing black it will stop flashing the pixels where that window was moved over.
EXPECTED RESULT
to do the effect and not flash
