what could cause one of my monitors to be stuck at 640x480 only on the first boot after a system update?

when i boot my computer after having run an update, my primary monitor (which should be at 1920x1080) is stuck at 640x480. interestingly, when i reboot and change nothing, it fixes itself until i run another update.
i'm on arch, using nvidia 555.58-2, on plasma 6.1.1-1. the monitor in question is DP-0 in the system info below.
what could be causing this and how can i fix it?
i've been having this issue for a while while kinda just dealing with it because it was something i could easily work around by booting my computer twice, but i'd really like to get it solved.

relevant (i think) inxi output

Bugged video driver
could you elaborate?
i've been just dealing with this problem for an embarrassing amount of time now, and have gone through several version updates of the nvidia drivers with this problem persisting. i've also tried reinstalling the nvidia drivers with no change.
Afraid you would have to contact nvidia for tech support
