Hello guys im thinking to buy a rx 6650 nitro+ because my rx 580 starting to show age ... right now the 6650 is around 450euro in my country when it reach around 400 im gonna do the jump.
on other thought my r5 2600x shouldnt be a problem i believe though im planning for r5 5600x sometime in the future and one more thing before we talk about the bios does the rx 6650 is worth it on a pcie 3.0 motherboards? from what i have researched im will lose few fps but not much.
And so about the bios update i havent updated my bios the last 2 years ..... i have the prime x470 pro my last bios update was for the agesa 1.0.0.6 for the second generation cpus (2000s). after that i didnt do another update.
Now because of resize bar i want to upgrade bios again , so my main question is should i do a one go update? straight to the last one? or do a more safe(?) approach with 5 updates jump.
i have the bios 4204 - prime x470 pro
1st choice is to go from 4204 to 6042 (21 bios update jump)
2nd choice is to from 4204 to 4804 - 5601-5809-5837-6042 (5 bios update in a row) im thinking that the 2nd choice more wise though i dont have a ups and im not that comfortable to do some many updates without one.
which choice u think its the best one.
EDIT:
i finished the update i needed TWO updates because i couldnt make it work with only one, when i tried to update straight to 6042 it didnt work (couldnt support the file) neither when i tried with 5809 (through bios internet update option) same file message.
so then i tried 5603 and it worked then i update to 6042...
4204---> 5603----> 6042.
asus should add a small note about the big bios jumps..
