Nvidia Geforce GTX 660 Ti faint black horizontal lines on left of screen

I have a MSI Geforece GTX 660 Ti and have had thease faint black line showing behind white application window's. I assumed they were damage to my screen as it's a fairly old Panasonsic Plasma tv. I very recently came across a link to the nvidia forums discusing said black lines, some people saw them only while playing video others games and behind white app windows same as mine. The issue was worse on some monitors than others. But was being being caused by the geforce gtx 660 Ti and looked to be driver related. As yet I have not see any info/fix being offered from nvidia but hope as more people see or realise the problem and post in forum they will endevor to find a cure.

For me personally this after the decisions around stopping support for a card that was made in 2014. That or it's time for me to go over to AMD gpu's.

i have 4060ti and i also had those faint black lines on my screen (samsung curved 21:9 resolution: 3440x1440~165Hz monitor)
i did fresh install and for now those lines are gone.

i am not sure what those lines are/were.

Code:

Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA AD106 [GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB] driver: nvidia
    v: 535.146.02
  Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 21.1.10 with: Xwayland v: 23.2.3 driver: X:
    loaded: nvidia gpu: nvidia resolution: 3440x1440
  API: EGL v: 1.5 drivers: kms_swrast,nvidia,swrast
    platforms: gbm,x11,surfaceless,device
  API: OpenGL v: 4.6.0 compat-v: 4.5 vendor: nvidia mesa v: 535.146.02
    renderer: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti/PCIe/SSE2

only difference is that i installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-535.146.02.run drivers manually.
if i used pacman to install drivers i would get those black lines.

i am using Arch Linux.
