ASUS updates Crosshair, Strix, TUF, and ProArt X870 boards to AGESA 1.3.0.1 beta
ASUS appears to be the first motherboard vendor to release beta BIOS updates based on AGESA ComboAM5 1.3.0.1 for its X870 series motherboards. The update is already listed for multiple ROG Crosshair, ROG Strix, TUF Gaming, and ProArt models.
The new beta BIOS brings three listed changes. ASUS says it updates boards to AGESA ComboAM5 1.3.0.1, adds optimization for the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition processor, and introduces a new Crosshair Tweak item for Crosshair series boards.
