DirectX Intel HD and NVIDIA different behavior Geometry Shader

Question

My code uses a geometry shader to produce thick lines using this: https://forum.libcinder.org/topic/smooth-thick-lines-using-geometry-shader

(Uses geometry shader approach)

I get it work on my local machine using an Intel HD Graphics card. However, if I use the same settings on my destination machine the lines that are drawn with weird gaps.

I don't understand why, because on different Intel HD it works. Note that my target is a NVS 300 that is fairly old, but supports FL10_1 and Geometry shader I guess. The Intel devices I try it with might be a bit newer.

Since I force the feature level on my development on device creation to be 10_1 I expect no difference.

I don't see any error codes that could hint a arbitrary behavior in the output that would explain it, even if I set up native code debugging or remote debugging.

Does anyone have a clue why this behaves differently?

I could add images, but you basically see a thick sine curve on my local machine and a thick ,but fractioned with gaps, on the target.

Thanks in advance for any clues.
