For running Vulkan benchmark with a resolution of 1920x1080, my monitor reports the resolution of 3840x2160, so the resolution does not change when running on 1920x1080.

I have Phoronix Test Suite 9.6.1-1 installed in Arch Linux.

Can anyone please explain why the resolution does not change from 3840x2160 to 1920x1080?

Update: Also, the code tag truncates whitespace from the beginning of each line. I sure hope this is obvious to anyone who is familiar with VBulletine.

A game update for Talos Principle likely broke/modified their resolution parameters, will need to look at it next time I run that game.

Cool. Thanks.
