ASUS Releases BIOS Updates for Radeon RX 5600 XT Can Unlock 14 Gbps Memory Performance

If you own an Asus Radeon RX 5600 XT you can increase its performance with a simple BIOS update.

Taken from TPU … AMD released its Radeon RX 5600 XT graphics card with a last-minute specifications update that made it competitive with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card. It did so by increasing GPU clock speeds, and more importantly, increasing memory clock speeds to 14 Gbps up from 12 Gbps in the original spec. Various AMD add-in board (AIB) partners released one-click BIOS updates on January 22nd (find them for ASRockSapphireMSIPowerColor, and Gigabyte). An easy updater from ASUS was missing in action at the time. The company finally got around to releasing easy, Windows-based programs that update the video BIOS of its ROG Strix Radeon RX 5600 XT O6G and TUF Gaming RX 5600 XT EVO OC graphics cards.

The BIOS updates run the video memory at 14 Gbps since the cards physically do feature 14 Gbps-rated memory chips. The specifications update has had a profound impact on the price-performance positioning of the RX 5600 XT, from being able to outperform the GTX 1660 Ti to trading blows with the RTX 2060. Grab the BIOS update from the links below.

ASUS finally releases a new VBIOS to update the GDDR6 from 12 to 14 gbps on the Radeon RX 5600 XT.
