If you use the NVIDIA driver boot option of the installer image then you’ll get the NVIDIA drivers preinstalled for your GPU.

This wiki page details which drivers are suitable for which NVIDIA GPU: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Installation.

In what way didn’t it work?

This is the wrong approach for Garuda (as well as Arch and any other Arch derivative) - use the driver packages in the repos.

Install only nvidia and nvidia-dkms.
command in the terminal:

sudo pacman -S nvidia nvidia-dkms

after that reboot and you should be with the right driver.
