I am primarily talking about, maybe userspace, but also the kernel, I am using the zen kernel which already ships a bunch of patches, I want to optimize the heck out of my gaming experience because currently games like doom eternal and some other games, not even triple A, run at a slow FPS, I have a 3070 GPU. I also remember seeing a repository with game patches I could put in my nix config once, but I forgot it, so please link to any general purpose patch or repository with patches or your personal gaming patches, I will take a look and see if they would help for the type of game I am playing and if its well-tested enough.

You’re looking at low single-digit % optimizations, they won’t take something that performs poorly and make it run properly. Mostly the effects wouldn’t be noticeable, and there’s honestly not all that much else you can do.
If the rest of your system is similarly reasonable, and I suppose depending on what you consider poor performance, this is more likely to be a fundamental configuration issue. Make sure you’re actually using the nvidia GPU (and not some iGPU).
If you still have your mind set, look around this repo: GitHub - fufexan/nix-gaming: Gaming on Nix
