It seems the system struggles with power surges during startup. Consider setting lower voltage and power limits for your CPU and GPU.
I don’t have a specific recommendation, but you might try a user-friendly program designed for similar tasks.
I adjusted the voltage using that tool and it helped. I confirmed by restarting the game to a default state and then reopening it for a full reset. The card was bought about a month ago. My driver version is 22.11.2, released on November 30. I checked for updates and found it to be the newest. It came from the AMD website, but I couldn’t locate a BIOS download. The bios date listed is 2021/08/24, which seems outdated if updates are happening. I might need to lower the voltage until I get a better PSU or explore other lower-voltage setups. I’m planning to try downloading ASUS’ overclock software and see what options are available. I’ll keep looking but won’t mark this resolved until I have more details.
I'm focusing on the motherboard BIOS and AMD chipset drivers, not the GPU drivers.
It seems you're checking your BIOS version and wondering about the compatibility of newer updates. The latest stable release is 5.0, while 5.22 and 5.31 are still in beta. You're concerned about upgrading to the RTX 40 series, thinking about the changes that might affect beta versions. You mentioned looking up the part number on the box, which likely includes manufacturer details and barcodes. It looks like you have a standard "Dual" RX6700XT model, with no visible OC variant and the part number not matching the OC version.
