Problem with new graphics card (lemmy.world)

I recently upgraded from an RX 570 to an RX 6600. Everything is working great, except that the font in my menu program Fuzzel as well as the font in my terminal foot is really big on one monitor and the correct size on the other monitor. I thought it might be because the monitor with the big text had a displayport to hdmi adapter, but I switched that monitor to hdmi and the other monitor to dp, and the same monitor still had big font in the menu and the terminal. The scaling seems to be correct, both monitors seem to be identical. What is going on? Any ideas? I'm running Debian Bookworm. I also installed the amd drivers as instructed on the Debian Wiki.

Thanks

Wow, I'm running the same setup: debian, sway, fuzzel, foot, RX 6600. Unfortunately, I have no good advice as I have not run into that issue. All I can say is that I never specifically installed the amd drivers, amdgpu was already installed. Do you also have gnome installed with the default debian install? Does it do the same thing in gnome?

I don't have gnome installed. I'm definitely thinking about installing xfce to see if there is any similar issue, but I like my minimalism with no other DE installed. And it happened both before and after the drivers were installed
