Update: I found the issue.
This was actually a Steam issue. Unfortunately the steam libraries that associate with the nvidia drivers never got updated (or showed an available update). So the libraries were still for 535.113. I had to uninstall and reinstall steam to get the correct libraries. I'm running the flatpak version of steam too if that makes a difference.
Moral of the story: Take your damn snapshots before updating.
Yeah I had a similar issue, my Nvidia driver got updated to 545 and suddenly PRIME offload did not work for Steam games. After a little while Flatpak update pulled the nvidia 545 flatpak stuff and it started working again.
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.
Have you tried downgrading your drivers to the previous version?
Yeah, I've tried drivers 525 as well. Same sort of performance issue.
