Help request: Updates wrecked performance (lemm.ee)

Need a bit of help here. I recently updated the nvidia drivers on my machine from 535.113 to 535.129 and my performance tanked. I can't run anything except for peglin at 14fps. I've tried a clean install of nvidia drivers but that doesn't seem to help. I'm well versed in Unix, but not really with gaming on Linux. No other performance has been affected. Has anyone seen similar issues or know any tips?

OS: Linux Mint 21 Cinnamon CPU: Ryzen 5600X GPU: 3070Ti

So, I would watch ~/.xsession-errors and /var/log/xorg.0.log for any warning and/or errors and try googling them.
Also Arch wiki is often great "checklist" even for different distros.

nvtop for monitoring the nvidia card memory and "cpu", also glxgears for basic benchmarking.

I am guessing you are playing Peglin thru steam (so proton), you might want to try changing to proton experimental, see if it's not just when playing thru proton.
