Are those lines visible on screenshots, or only on the monitor itself?

After conducting tests with video capture, I noticed the appearance of white line artifacts on the screen. However, these artifacts were absent in the captured video footage.

Ok, then this is a driver bug or GPU quirk. Please report it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues
