Singapore, February 9, 2018
— ASUS
today announced that its
complete lineup of AM4-socket-based motherboards now offer
support for the first Zen architecture-based AMD Ryzen™ desktop processors with
Radeon™ Vega graphics Accelerated Processing Units (APUs), via a BIOS update that’s
available immediately.
These
all-new AMD Ryzen 2000 Series APUs combine up to four Zen-based CPU cores with integrated
Radeon Vega graphics. When used in combination with ASUS AMD AM4 Series
motherboards, AMD Ryzen 2000 Series APUs offer great-value performance and
deliver best-in-class gaming and graphics experiences.
Existing
owners of ASUS AM4-socket motherboards can update their systems quickly and
easily with the intuitive ASUS USB BIOS Flashback or ASUS EZ Flash 3 tools. In
addition, an updated graphics driver — available from the ASUS support website
— pushes the integrated AMD Radeon graphics to new performance heights for best-ever
visual and gaming experiences with AMD Ryzen 2000 Series APUs.
Quick-and-easy BIOS update delivers instant compatibility
with AMD Ryzen 2000 Series APUs
Updating an
ASUS AM4-socket-based motherboard for compatibility with the latest AMD Ryzen
2000 Series APUs takes just moments, via one of two simple methods.
With the ASUS-exclusive
USB BIOS Flashback feature built in to many ASUS motherboards, users only need
to download the latest UEFI BIOS to a USB flash drive, connect the motherboard’s
power supply, insert a FAT32-formatted USB drive, and then press the motherboard’s
USB BIOS Flashback or Reset button. No AM4 processor or memory modules need to
be in place, and the update will complete in a few moments.
Alternatively,
users may update via the EZ Flash 3 utility that’s integrated with the ASUS UEFI
BIOS. This tool allows the update to be applied via an inserted USB drive or
downloaded directly from the internet.
Users are
also advised to update to the newest Radeon Vega drivers (V23.20.817.0 or
later) to enjoy the best-possible graphics performance. These drivers are
available for download from the ASUS microsite, at https://www.asus.com/Microsite/mb/AMD-Ryzen-2000-APU-ready/.
