The files in question are there, but slightly different version than i estimated
You can try, same as before, from that cache fodler
sudo pacman -U linux515-nvidia-470xx-470.141.03-18-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst lib32-nvidia-470xx-utils-470.141.03-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst nvidia-470xx-utils-470.141.03-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst opencl-nvidia-470xx-470.141.03-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
If you get an error that file is not existing, check in that folder the exact package version and correct it in the -U command.
Is it a requirement that I do them all at once? Looks like two succeeded and two failed.
/var/cache/pacman/pkg sudo pacman -U linux515-nvidia-470xx-470.141.03-18-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst lib32-nvidia-470xx-utils-470.141.03-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst nvidia-470xx-utils-470.141.03-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst opencl-nvidia-470xx-470.141.03-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Like i said, look for the correct version and file name … The important part of the files is
and
So you understand better, those 4 packages need to be back/downgraded to version 470.141
And all should give you the same result
Ignore the warning, just make sure is done with the proper files … once that is done, you could reboot the system and test if all works as before the big update. The you ignore the next updates … for now 
Understood
Ok I can’t find the opencl one. There isn’t any file in here that looks like that.
The other three are fixed (I think)
Well, some apps that rely in that version of opencl might fail … but try to have another look for opencl-nvidia-470xx before you reboot, and -U that one too.
Maybe you never had it installed as is an optional dep for nvidia-utils and only required if you use CUDA? Well, that can be the case, so now you can reboot the system and see if all this was worth the trouble
Ok thanks rebooting now!
Ok now I downgrade?
You already did the downgrade, but not via the downgrade command, but via replacing the newer versions of those packages with the older ones, from cache, that worked for you prior the update.
If you do not notice improvements after reboot, that means the slow graphics had nothing to do with the nvidia drivers and modules version.
Damnit. It didn’t work 
Time for a reinstall I guess.
Hold on!
Reinstalling is not going to reveal the issue and that can happen again.

This can be an issue because the connection is via
so it not get recognized when the config was generated at driver install stage.
You could try to fix the config by using the Nvidia X config, make a fixed layout, get that information from the Preview (do not save the file as it will be saved as xorg.conf file in the wrong place), share it here and will try to make a new nvidia.config for you.
Ok so I need to ask you some questions again
What is the Nvidia X config?
What is a fixed layout?
Nvidia X Server Settings is the utility provided by Nvidia to tweak settings. You should find it in Applications > Settings of the Menu …
A fixed Layout is to declare in the config all the details related to the monitor, from position on the X Screen, to resolution and refresh rate, to be using (or not) the Composition Pipeline …
Here is an example in Advanced mode.
Is Auto, aka default, not fixed with Absolute parameters …
Is that bad?
Well, it basically fives X/Nvidia to do as they wish when initializing it…mine is also on Absolute.
FWIW, here’s mine:
Should I change something?
