Compatibility Notice

• XMG NEO (E23) require different firmware (EC/BIOS) files depending on the GPU configuration, because of the different mainboard layout.
  • RTX 4060 and 4070 use one mainboard layout and set of firmware files.
  • RTX 4080 and 4090 use another layout and set of firmware files.
• When attempting to update your EC/BIOS with the file from the wrong model, you will get an error message and the update will not proceed.

Supported Operating Systems

• Windows 11
