Question b450 mobo drivers and bios

[bep1995]

Hello, I have a question about drives cause i'm a bit confused, for example on the asrock site it says that in order to do bios update i have to install AMD all in 1 with VGA driver ver: 18.50.16.01_WHQL, on the gigabyte site says to install AMD Chipset Driver 18.50.16.01, whats the difference between them ?? why asrock says with VGA ?? If i just download chipset drivers (~50MB) from amd site will i have problem with bios update ?? Also on the amd site have chipset drivers without the radeon software that is being released for example is version 1.8.19.0915. Basically I want to buy asrock B450 mobo and in the future buy an 3000 ryzen and I want to know from now on whats with the drivers, if i have nvidia card can i still install all in one drivers from asrock ?? Thanks in sdvance !!

The All in One driver is AMD's designation for the chipset driver. They both contain the VGA driver. It's just that Asrock and Gigabyte use different names.

Can I just install this chipset driver instead the whole amd software to do the bios update that supports ryzen 3000. And what if I have nvidia card ?? can i install then the amd software ??

Yes, Install the Chipset Driver from AMD, it is the newest version.
I have a Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti and I download my Drivers for it directly from Nvidia:

Get the driver, from AMD. The one from Asrock, in my experience, causes issues.

Οκ, thank you guys, so, although asrock says must have all in one drivers 18.50.16.01 to do bios update in order to install ryzen 3000, can i do that with the simple chipset drivers v1.8.19.0915 from amd.com with no issues ?? I will buy an amd rx 500 series gpu in near future, so, can i have separate gpu and chipset drivers ?? can install adrenaline software without chipset drivers ?? Thanks in advance !!

You're making this harder than it needs to be. Install either chipset driver and then do your BIOS update (if you feel the update is necessary). Personally, I always grab the drivers from the board's website.
