Test Setup
We are using an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D for testing, and for 2025, we have upgraded our testing PC with completely updated components from top to bottom. We are using the motherboard’s current default BIOS settings on the latest release BIOS. We have enabled PCI-Express Resizable BAR in the motherboard BIOS. We have enabled EXPO I in the BIOS for the memory. We are using a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro with the latest Windows Updates, including the 24H2 update. We have the latest drivers installed, including the latest chipset drivers. We are using the “Balanced” power profile in Windows Settings,and Core Isolation/Memory Integrity (VBS) is Enabled. AMD provided a new press release driver package for the RX 9070 release. This driver has been utilized for each Radeon RX video card used today.
