I’ve been trying for literal hours to get my 5080 to have functioning drivers. I’ve tried a LOT of different things. Ask for whatever you need from me and I’ll provide it, just don’t want to spam a bunch of useless text so whatever console command needs ran to help identify, just ask!
Welcome to the Forum! 
One of the first things we’ll ask for is an inxi output; e.g.:
inxi -zv8
Copy the Terminal output, paste here, highlight it and click the </> button at the top of the reply window; this formats it nicely for the Forum.

Are things OK on the LTS Kernels, e.g. linux612, linux66 etc.?… If so, I’d suggest to use one of those whilst linux613 is being worked on.
NVIDIA’s 570 driver isn’t working on anything but linux613 it’d seem. That’s at least what the installer told me. Now I either have to move on from Manjaro for now or reinstall for the third time since the 570 driver bricks my entire OS
What installer?
What exactly are you doing when you say you are ‘instaling drivers’ ?
Also, please do not ignore requests for information.
inxi -zv8
I would further ask for mhwd (the thing that manages drivers on manjaro) output;
mhwd -li -l
PS.
No driver should be able to ‘brick’ anything.
If you are managing these things as they should be managed its only the difference of having a package installed or not.
Furthermore ‘brick’ is a term to describe a non-functioning and unrevivable device.
Even if you did something totally unsupported and somehow ‘broke’ your installation in such a way that you find it exceedingly difficult to recover … that does not mean the thing is ‘bricked’.

This gives an impression that you use Nvidia’s own installer, which is not supported in Manjaro, and Nvidia themselves even don’t recommend:
Manjaro’s nvidia driver is a normal pacman package linked with the kernel version in the name of linux<xyz>-nvidia.
