Nvidia reports issues on Manjaro.
Sauron overlooked a detail; I had to reinstall Manjaro after installing the AMD cards. Here’s the LSPCI output now: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Typically the issue is resolved by adjusting the compositor settings; I’m not sure what Manjaro Cinnamon uses, but there should be an option to turn it off. If it’s Compton, you can move a config file to your home directory with the command compton --config ~/.config/compton.conf and modify it as needed. According to the arch wiki, full-screen tearing can be addressed by setting: unredir-if-possible = false; if using catalyst drivers instead of amdgpu, add backend = "xrender". It’s odd you can’t save your NVIDIA control panel settings—perhaps a different distribution would work better.
your system shows different GPU drivers: your 290X uses Radeon, while your RX460 runs AMD GPU. I updated the kernel to 4.18, which shouldn’t be the problem. I prefer Manjaro, though I’ve faced similar issues before on Ubuntu-based systems without using the NVIDIA control panel as root.
Sauron confirm the situation is ongoing. I just switched my setup from Windows to Linux, but the RX460 display isn’t functioning properly now.
The kernel isn't usually the issue here. I'd consider adding the catalyst fix just in case, since it shouldn't affect amdgpu either. It's possible you were prompted for a password. The next step could be testing with Wayland to see if it helps. Oh well, it might be your motherboard acting strangely. Double-check that power-saving settings are turned off in the BIOS.
