Can't play in 4k (lemmy.world)

I've got my gaming PC plugged into the TV. Here are the specs.

6700 XT

R5 1600AF

32 giggle-bits of RAM

Plasma 6 Wayland

Arch Linux

My desktop is in 4k, but my steam games only go to 1080. I'm pretty sure my drivers are up to date. Any guidance is appreciated πŸ™πŸ™

I'm plugged in with a high speed HDMI right into my GPU

My aspect ratio on kde display settings is 16:9, resolution 3640x2160

I've played in 4k on this machine before with these games, but that was before I reinstalled a couple weeks ago to fix a different problem (mostly Helldivers 2, DOOM 2016, and CoD WWII)

I ran

paru -Syyu amdgpu

I could be missing something though theoretically I'm not out to say I know everything

I don't have much experience with AMD gpus on Arch.

I was looking at the Arch AMD GPU wiki page and it looks like you might also need to run

pacman -S vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-radeon mesa lib32-mesa xf86-video-amdgpu

But admittedly there's a lot about AMD GPU drivers I don't understand. Like how to verify your driver in installed correctly.

You might also want to try out amdgpu_top or radeontop to monitor what the GPU is doing.
