Back in January, 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 ASRock, Sapphire, MSI, PowerColor, 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.

It would be great if they released 1004b to their 300 series mobo lineup but it seems it ain't happening and they dont care.

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
Yep... and I believe it may resolved some wonky arse power use too. While it didn't affect performance, power use was all over the map (at least the data GPUz pulled).

naaaaaahh met with a sensed logical recommendation and a "@" at our flash guru to help the mentioned newcomer ... that's how it always was ... even when i had a 6950 to flash, granted it was not my fault it was bricked and the lovely folk at TPU did help me a lot ...even tho it was mhhhh my third or fourth post here, at the time.

it should be common knowledge for BIOS flashing, specially for GPU, "if you never did it or you don't know what you're doing even reading a step by step procedure by the manufacturer" : "then ask for guidance before attempting it" usually if a question is asked before a "catastrophe" the "catastrophe" can be avoided ;) right?
