It is reproducible on RTX 3070. Seems to be a draw call with tessellation and 12 control points. No obvious reason this fails based on looking at the shader diffs though ...

[HansKristian-Work]

It works fine on RADV. I'll declare this a driver bug. Not exactly super high priority to look into since it's an optional backend, not our bug, and just a goofy glitch.
