Hey,
lately I tried out the Zen 3 or Zenver3 kernel variant over the last months as I thought my AMD CPU might get some small booster with it. Latest patch (arround this thursday 18th) brought some black overlay flickering over the whole upper third of my screen running on 144 Hz.
First try was to restore the former state and wait for another patch, which worked. Today I did another try, because also mesa and vulkan drivers where announced. Same issue happened again.
Then I switched back toward the usual Zen kernel, what solved the problem.
So, this is no inquiry for assistance, but to bring the issue to your eyes, should someone else experience similar issues with Zen3 on AMD CPU and AMD GPU.
Here my garuda-inxi output after switching back to Zen:
