	theres no performance improvment from bios side, if u got no issues with your current setup then u dont need new bios, u may need it later on when u will be switching your cpu to ryzen 2xxx or better
	userbenchmark

	Wow yea not thinking about changing cpu anytime soon, I am very satisfied right now.. the question, If I may ask, will the new radeon navi gpu bottleneck my Ryzen 5 1600x cpu? (ofc you cant 100% know this but if you can give me your opinon would be great )

	I don't think so, personally. New Navi (or VII) is not an extremely powerful card. 1440p and below you should easily max out everything, while @ 4K your FPS will drop because of the GPU. VR & 4K still need insane GPU if you want good FPS and all the bling. Realtime ray-tracing is still far from the mainstream games.

	I agree with Xhue, speculation puts the new Radeon VII at around 2080 performance but without Real Time Ray Tracing. A 1600x should still be more than up to the task, especially at resolutions higher than 1080p. A lot of people see reviews and see intel CPUs (for example) scoring higher FPS with the GPUs being tested and assume that anything less is a bottleneck on the part of the CPU. This is not true, all too often it is simply better optimization for intel's architecture in a given title's game engine. Ryzen, from a software optimization standpoint, is still very new. This year and next we will start seeing the gap close between comparable intel and AMD CPUs in gaming scenarios. In short, the Ryzen 1600x is a 6 core 12 thread CPU, more than up to the task with any currently and soon to be available GPU.
