You’re right, I missed that. I got the info about amdgpu from the error message in the running text - and misread it. I just now saw that you edited the post.
Sorry if i am editing too much, i believe i forgot to post that specific edit for half an hour while i was distracted elsewhere.
I’m all out of replies for the next two hours.
Was trying to go through your replies again before i install anything else.
mesa
lib32-mesa
xf86-video-amdgpu
vulkan-radeon
lib32-vulkan-radeon
all installed.
lts too for that matter though i personally didn’t notice any difference between the kernels yet.
not sure if this helps after a fresh install but here is
pacman -Qs ‘mesa|vulkan|xf86-video-amdgpu’:

What happens when you run sudo pacman -R xf86-video-ati ?
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing xf86-video-ati breaks dependency ‘xf86-video-ati’ required by garuda-video-linux-config
No, that’s all correct. The wrong module is loaded.
Try to blacklist the radeon module.
Well make a .conf file in /etc/modprobe.ddirectory named radeon.conf and in that conf file, write:
blacklist radeon
And reboot.
See if it makes any difference.
inxi -G
Graphics:
Device-1: AMD Curacao PRO [Radeon R7 370 / R9 270/370 OEM] driver: N/A
My graphics are quite wonky now :q
Well what does inserting this line in the radeon.conf do:
options amdgpu cik_support=1
Try and reboot.
I don’t actually remember exactly what the gpt wanted me to do but i believe it looked liked that line except witin a different config i think
Driver is till n/a
TLDR:
Yes I was wrong make a new .conf file named amdgpu.conf in the /etc/modprobe.d and add in the following lines:
options amdgpu cik_support=1
options amdgpu si_support=1
Make a .conf file named radeon.conf in the same modprobe.d folder , and add: in the following lines
blacklist radeon
options radeon cik_support=0
options radeon si_support=0
Then reboot.

Keep
blacklist radeon
options amdgpu cik_support=1
in the radeon config?
Still driver n/a
Just to make sure here are my radeon conf:
blacklist radeon
options radeon cik_support=0
options radeon si_support=0
and
amdgpu.conf is
options amdgpu cik_support=1
options amdgpu si_support=1
like you said
amdgpu.conf is name right ? If it is the same name as the driver which is amdgpu then proceed.
I mean yes it’s named amdgpu.conf
and i’ve already rebooted :x

iirc after forcing dracut my system got corrupted last time
apparently the dots are wrong in the option lines the config so they get ignored. i changed them to spaces and dracut has no problems with them anymore.
Rebooted and now inxi says driver:amdgpu 
And my game works omg

Sorry the .conf did not have to use dots, I made a mistake in reading. I have changed my reply and advise you do the same to all of your replies. So, Issue solved ? If yes then please mark it as solved.
Thank you very much.
I’ve marked the solution and edited the dots out of my one reply not sure if i should edit more.
