Hello,
I've been noticing what sounds like the same issue as the original post. This is brand new install of Ubuntu 20.04 after running all updates and restarting. A clean boot show has no display problems but after I suspend my system I get a lot of tearing/flashing. If I drop the rate on the larger monitor from 144Hz to 59.95Hz the problem goes away. I have also tried the other supported rates of 120.00 and 99.95 which still have tearing.

If I try the same process but with just my larger screen enabled, the resume doesn't have the flickering.

This does not seem to be happening in Fedora 32 in the same system. Since that runs 5.6 and 3.36 on Wayland maybe the issue is in the kernel. I am mostly a user so I can't really draw better conclusions.

I can provide a video and logs as needed.

My setup:
AMD® Ryzen 5 2600x six-core processor × 12
AMD® Radeon rx 5600 xt
GNOME version 3.36.3
Kernel: 5.4.0-40-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 23 00:01:04 UTC 2020
Windowing System X11 (also happens when using Wayland)
2 monitors:
