If you already have reverted from NVidia 460 to NVidia 450, then the commands do not show information that helps searching the cause of your problem any more. I am sorry, but I do not see a possibility to help further.

After an Nvidia driver update, the running kernel is still using the old Nvidia module, and you get such mis-match messages. Simply reboot to fix this, getting the new module into the kernel.

Can you help with this problem?
