Advanced/AMD PBS/Graphics Features BIOS Help

So I'm trying to figure out what these options in my BIOS mean and if any of them would benefit my hardware considering I have both AMD Integrated and Dedicated graphics. My build is an Asus ROG CROSSHAIR X670E EXTREME Motherboard with an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 4.2 GHz 16-Core Processor and an Asus TUF GAMING OC Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24 GB Video Card.

Since you have a separate video card, and assuming you are not plugged into the motherboard's HDMI or DP ports to use the integrated graphics, I would find the setting to disable the integrated graphics that's in the CPU.  It's just using power and generating heat for no reason.  As for the memory (RAM) settings, look for the AMD EXPO and enable that if your RAM sticks support this memory profile.

 

You should also check to see if there is a newer BIOS for your motherboard and perhaps flash your BIOS to the latest version.  This isn't necessary if everything is currently working fine however.

 

The BIOS can be very confusing.  You might have to research each setting to figure out what it's for.  For most of them, you probably want to leave it at the default setting.  It's possible to really mess things up with BIOS settings so be cautious with what you change.


As Albert Einstein said, "I could have done so much more with a Big Al's Computer!".

My ram is the G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory which does specifically support EXPO when all the comparable ram in that product line only supports Intel XMP. I tried EXPO a while ago since built this computer about a year and a half ago and found it wasn't quite stable, but I keep my BIOS regularly up to date to perhaps that been fixed.

 

I'll certainly look into what I can do about the integrated graphics though.
