No signal on second monitor after latest update

After the latest update of xorg and the tkg kernel to 5.10.1 my second monitor isn't being able to turn on. It's detected in the system settings, but if it never turns on even when activated. Trying to set it up through xrandr only gives me this error message:

xrandr: Configure crtc 4 failed
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  140 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  21 (RRSetCrtcConfig)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  62
  Current serial number in output stream:  62

Before anyone asks here's my inxi -Fxxxza as well, if it helps:

I don't know which one is the cause, but I'm betting on xorg. Maybe a partial update? Or is there some issue with NVIDIA and 5.10.1 that I didn't hear of?

A little update, tried doing a partial update, excluding only the xorg related packages, and confirmed that the issue is related to the 5.10 kernel, I just don't know why exactly. The NVIDIA card works fine with it, it just doesn't work to provide a signal for the second monitor. I ended up timeshift-ing back to before updating.

What exactly have you upgraded and what was excluded?
Also post these (prior and after boot, after upgrade) at Garuda pastebin

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old

Xorg.0.log here.
And Xorg.0.log.old here.

Sorry it took a while, I just got back on my machine. The updates I got were for the kernel and kernel headers.

And also for xorg-server and other xorg related packages, but when I updated just those the system kept working fine. The issues only show up when I update the kernel.
