After getting this update, I am getting low FPS in games 5-10 when before it would be 50-60. No idea where to look to see what I did wrong.

Here ya go.
From my view, everything looks okay here.
Your GPU is detected and using the nvidia driver:
Additionally, all graphics APIs detect the NVIDIA graphics card as well:

You could try installing the garuda-hardware-profile-nvidia profile instead.
Try:
sudo pacman -S garuda-hardware-profile-nvidia
You will have to confirm the removal of the nvidia-dkms and garuda-hardware-profile-nvidia-closed package. After this, try a reboot and check your performance again. If this does not work, please post your garuda-inxi as well as glxinfo again.
