I seem to have the same problem and it seemed to start right after the upgrade.
Every minute or so, sporadically I'll get line artifacts over a portion of the screen, generally every other line or so. It will clear up after a few seconds, but at times it will stay for awhile.
Here's the important bits from glxinfo
