ASRock quietly rolls out new firmware after disastrous previous update killed Radeon RX 7900-series GPUs
ASRock has quietly released a new firmware update for its Radeon RX 7000-series graphics cards following a previous version that bricked some RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX models.
The new VBIOS version 1.0.6 has appeared on the ASRock official website, though the company has not published a changelog or explained what issues the update resolves. This follows the disastrous 1.0.5 release that rendered some Radeon RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX graphics cards unusable.
Previous AMD update
Last month, AMD released its own VBIOS patch for the Radeon RX 7000-series to address potential security vulnerabilities. The company did not disclose technical details but assured gamers there had been no reports of exploitation.
Customer concerns
ASRock has remained silent on warranty coverage for the bricked cards, leaving affected customers uncertain about their options. The company's quiet rollout of the new firmware without explanation has frustrated users who lost valuable hardware.
