I've had a similar issue with a monitor not properly supporting VRR, I ended up dumping the EDID and forcing Linux to use that instead of the monitor's.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Have you double checked that the monitor itself has native refresh rate of 160, not 144? Otherwise I’m stumped.
Yeah, it's advertised as 160hz and even amdgpu_top (which uses xrandr or something like it) says 159.96hz is the first preferred mode, the second being 100hz
I had this problem before with a Nvidia card which reset to 144hz after an update and I could never enable it again. However it's a mystery as to why it boots up at 160hz in systemd-boot console, and goes back to 144hz when entering KDE or turning the display off
Hmm…maybe test what it does when you boot into live on USB or a different distro altogether, just to isolate whether it’s specific to this distro/configuration or something to do with your hardware?
