That version number doesn't look right and probably isn't the driver (given it's well before the 7xxx cards were released). Make sure you have a recent version of mesa and the kernel (and vulkan drivers) and that amdvlk and amdgpu-pro are not installed.

the Manjaro hardware driver setting is absolutely confusing or straight up misleading
also hilariously easy to bork your system here if you ever think about trying the video-vesa driver for whatever reason
the solution is to use the newest linux kernel and update all your packages (which updates Mesa and Vulkan tools) and afterwards rebooting (I still believe Manjaro doesn't reload kernel modules on kernel updates automatically?)
if you experience graphics issues switch between Xorg/X11 and Wayland compositor
if you actually want worse gaming performance try the proprietary driver
what version of mesa do you have installed?
I'm not aware of a video-linux package existing, tho I am an arch guy, it may just be that it is out of date
you shouldn't need any of the amdgpupro things just for gaming
I got this version of the driver by running mhwd -l -d --pci
If you enter vulkaninfo into a teriminal, which driver does it use? You want RADV; 23.something or later. If it says AMDVLK, you want to uninstall that.
Which kernel are you using? You probably want the latest kernel (6.5) right now.
This is what I'm getting vulkaninfo --summary ✔
