Fixing compatibility for Vastarmor RX 9060 XT 16GB OC
The moment my boot time dropped from 35 seconds to 10 seconds, I was stoked. That kind of efficiency gain is immediately noticeable. Looking back, the game would just hang on the loading screen for three minutes because the boot logic was struggling with the new API—it was incredibly frustrating. I stopped relying on default settings and flashed the latest motherboard BIOS, then forced the PCIe link mode to Gen4. The boot logs showed the hardware initialization sequence was finally optimized. I did hit a snag: after the flash, the GPU driver disappeared. I had to go back into the BIOS and disable 'Legacy Compatibility Support' to get it working again. Now, the GPU idles at 45°C - 50°C with clocks jumping smoothly between 2.2 GHz and 2.6 GHz. Updating firmware to solve software conflicts is always a gamble, but the smoothness is undeniable. System responsiveness is on a whole different level now, and core temps stay a cool 42-48°C.
