Does it improve if you switch from intel to modesetting? All my intel GPUs that modesetting supports are using it. Last official update of xf86-video-intel was 3 summers ago.
I don't remember how to do that...
Reboot with a parameter?
If you look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log you'll see
[ 9.021] (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 0 [ 9.021] (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 1 [ 9.021] (==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 2 [ 9.021] (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 3
It just goes through the list until it finds one. So just uninstall the intel driver and it'll use modesetting.
Or, use /etc/X11/xorg.conf*, such as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf, to specify which driver to use. Removing the ancient xf86-video-intel package ultimately seems most sensible - no bandwidth wasted storing or updating unused software.
But modesetting is (used to be) really bad for multi monitor setups, as it exhibits quite bad screen tearing.
