BIOS update and driver questions

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello all,

I'm using an b450m pro4 board and I'm currently using a ryzen 3 2200g. I plan on getting a ryzen 5 3600, which means that I have to update my bios. I plan on getting my 3600 a little later from now, but I want to update my bios so that my pc will be ready for the new processor. Looking at the list of bios updates for the b450m, the more recent updates state that they are not to be used with pinnacle, summit, or raven ridge processors. My 2200g is a raven ridge, so these updates will not be compatible. On the bios update list, version 3.3 provides compatibility for 3000 series processors, version 3.4 further optimizes the experience with matisse processors, and version 3.5 is the latest version that is compatible with my current processor. Is it best that I update my bios to 3.5 and then upon installing the 3600, I update to the latest version?

Another inquiry that I have is about the "AMD all in 1 with VGA driver" that is recommended. My understanding is that this driver is for amd apu's with integrated graphics, which my current 2200g falls under. However, I have a gtx 1660 already installed inside my computer, which should mean that my gpu will be responsible for display if I do not install the vga driver. Am I correct in saying this?
