I'm using garuda linux kde dr460ized gaming edition. I recently switched my desktop session from x11 to wayland. I also installed wayland protocols too. After that my games stopped crashing randomly because x11 was probably too old for my system. But my games now have forced vsync by the system. My games have an fps limit of 144 which is also my monitors refresh rate.
Here is my garuda-inxi output:

I tried disabling vsync in games' settings like Splitgate and CSGO. I also disabled the fps limit in both games. But both of them had vsync still going on. I tried adding "gamemoderun mangohud %command%" to launch options. I tried setting Adaptive Sync from Display Configuration to "Never" but the issue still persists. I searched an option for Vsync in Nvidia X server settings but couldn't find any.
How can I disable vsync? Or if there's a launch option that disables this forced vsync by my system; what is it?
