Updating the BIOS and chipset drivers ensures optimal performance. The latest AMD chipset driver (v7.01.08.129+) includes the AMD Application Compatibility Database driver, which, combined with a BIOS running AGESA 1.2.0.3+, boosts gaming performance.

Thanks to the BIOS update, Metro Exodus sees up to a 10% boost, while Far Cry 6 improves by 8%.
