Gigabyte X670 and B650 BIOS update adds support for AMD Ryzen 7000X3D chips

In a few days, AMD will release the Ryzen 7000X3D chips to the public. These chips will be supported by X670 and B650 series motherboards, but you'll first have to update your BIOS if you've already got a motherboard. Fortunately for those with a Gigabyte motherboard, a BIOS update has now arrived.

Gigabyte has already launched the latest BIOS version for its X670 and B650 series motherboards. This version includes the AGESA 1.0.0.5C, which introduces support for the upcoming AMD Ryzen 7000X3D processors: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, Ryzen 9 7900X3D, and Ryzen 7 7800X3D.

To download the new BIOS for a specific motherboard, go to its official product page and select the “Support” tab. Once there, on the Download tab, go to the BIOS section and look for the one that mentions the AMD AGESA 1.0.0.5 C in the patch notes (should be dated 21/02/2023).

Once you have the BIOS file, you can update it via @BIOS (utility software to update the BIOS from the OS), Q-Flash (BIOS flashing tool accessible through the BIOS), or Q-Flash Plus (update BIOS via USB stick without any component installed). The methods available will depend on your motherboard model.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
