... There seems to be a problem with the tested firmware of the Asrock B650 Pro RS. The integrated Ryzen 7000 GPU runs at a maximum of 600 MHz on the board, which is why the 3D performance only reaches a third of the expected value. An update to the current BIOS version 1.09 did not help either. With activated XMP profile for higher memory speed, the boot time increases from 16 to 40 seconds.
