BIOS Compatibility Notice

XMG APEX 16 (M26) is available with two different CPU platforms.
These two CPU platforms share the same drivers, but use different BIOS firmware.
Both of them are listed here on this page.
Each BIOS update package (ZIP file) includes the CPU series name in its filename.

Please double-check which CPU is in your system before you attempt to update your BIOS.
One way to check the CPU: press Win+R, type "msinfo32" and confirm, or search for "System Information" in Windows Start Menu.

Note: there are yet no BIOS updates available, that's why this page currently lists nothing under firmware.

Notice on AMD Graphics Drivers

Please initially install the "AMD_VGA" driver from this Download Pages (also known as "AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition"), prior to updating with the latest version from AMD's website. Our OEM driver incorporates model-specific customizations that will carry over to subsequent installations of the latest official AMD driver.

If you've already installed the latest AMD driver on a freshly reinstalled Windows without first using our "AMD_VGA" driver from this Download Pages, we advise you to download and install our AMD_VGA" driver now. Make sure to select the "Clean install" option during installation. You can then proceed to update with the latest AMD driver once more.

This approach ensures that OEM-specific adjustments are integrated into the official driver as outlined in the "Extension INF" (EINF) specification. Failure to follow this method may lead to unforseen performance, compatibility or stability issues. See also our related announcement forum threads (English, German).

If you have technical issues with the latest AMD graphics driver, please consider to use the latest AMD OEM graphics driver (download here).
