Ah! I thought you were running a desktop with effects turned off, but
well, in the end what I wanted you to try is the opposite of your current
setup, so if desktop effects were off, enabling them to check if that
makes any difference (which in your case it turned out to be "disabling"
them).

Are both systems running Sid? If yes, then I'd consider reporting this.
It could be that the upgrade (coming either from KDE or the VGA driver
itself) "break" something affecting the 3D rendering capabilities in KDE.
