Horizontal dark flickering lines on the new installation of Ubuntu 21.10 on GeForce RTX 3050

Hi!
I have problem with horizontal flickering lines on my screen (not present in Windows). They appear when something moves on the screen. Mouse for example or if the video is playing or text moving up or down the screen.
I have tried both recommended nvidia-driver-470 and nvidia-driver-495 with the same negative results.
Would be very grateful for ideas.

Here comes some of the system information:

Here comes the bug report too.

The internal display is driven by the intel igpu, the nvidia gpu is in on-demand mode so doesn’t have an influence on it. Please try setting kernel parameter
i915.enable_psr=0
