Unusual/Unique problem in BIOS. Ryzen 5 7600, Gigabyte B650M Gaming A AX, Corsair DDR5 5200, Gigabyte Eagle 6700XT.

Hi All,
Feb 6th I upgraded to AM5.
Ryzen 5 7600, some deelcool cooler, Gigabyte B650M Gaming A AX (latest BIOS), 16GB Corsair DDR5 5200. Old Components: PSU: Corsair RM650. GPU: Nvidia 1650Super. Display : Acer EB321HQUD (60hz)
March 6th I installed the new Gigabyte Eagle 6700xt. To avoid dealing with those known AMD driver issues I installed new windows 11 anyway to avoid troubleshooting that might be needed later.
Long story short, everything works fine but the BIOS flickers like crazy when I use the 6700xt. I reseated the gpu twice, changed cables, DP ports, DP to HDMI, rolled back BIOS nothing worked.
Windows boots fine, ran some furmark benches all good. BIOS works fine If I remove the 6700xt, BIOS is good on APU just like it was on 1650Super. Games running fine too.
I have 1 memory stick on B2, did not change that, no clue if that will make a difference.

You could try hybrid graphics, plugging in integrated GPU. It should switch for discrete when needed.

Thanks for replying. That sounds like too much work on a regular bases.

Work? Just plug display connector once and that should be enough.

Sounds like the Video BIOS is corrupted. Personally I would RMA the card, rather than accept not working precisely as it should (even if it is absolutely fine in Windows).

Lo and behold, I used a different monitor (22" dell) and everything is perfect on it. Both screens have same 60hz refresh rate. I am sorted, happy and bewildered.

Glad you've got it sorted but that is one weird issue - what specific Dell model is it? I only ask because I'm now wondering if it's a port problem. Your Acer monitor uses DP 1.2 and HDMI 1.4, which technically shouldn't be a problem with the 6700 XT's DP 1.4a and HDMI 2.1 ports, but you never know.

It really is. It's a very old 22" incher. I've disconnected it now, will open it and share model number...2200stl something iirc.
