Battlefield 6 Open Beta – Driver Version Mismatch (RX 6800M)

I tried joining the Battlefield 6 open beta, but the game incorrectly detects my GPU driver as 23.19.23.11, even though I’m running the latest AMD Adrenalin driver 25.8.1, released on 24/07/2025.

System Specifications:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX – 8 cores / 16 threads
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800M – 12 GB VRAM
RAM: 32 GB DDR4 3200 MHz
Storage: 3 TB Gen3 NVMe SSDs 1 TB + 2 TB
OS: Windows 11 Pro
Security: Secure Boot enabled, TPM 2.0 present

I meet all system and security requirements, but the beta refuses to launch due to this incorrect driver version reading. My guess is that the game is detecting my integrated GPU as the primary one, since this laptop (AMD Advantage edition of the ASUS ROG Strix G15) does not have a MUX switch and instead relies on the dedicated GPU + integrated GPU setup when gaming on the laptop screen.

Thanks in advance.

  • Here's an article on how to turn the Mux Switch on and off.

    How to toggle the MUX Switch in Armoury Crate 

    This discrete GPU mode was previously available as its own "MUX Switch" setting, but for our 2022 laptops, it's now integrated in to our existing suite of GPU Power Saving options. Open the Armoury Crate application, make sure it’s up to date, and look at the System Configuration box in the lower right-hand corner. You’ll see the GPU Mode option here, which lets you cycle through the four modes available to you. You can also head to the Device section, click System, and view the GPU Power Saving tab to see all four modes at once. 

    The options include: 

    Ultimate: This new discrete GPU mode uses the MUX Switch to give you the best possible latency and performance for competitive games. This will draw more power, so it won’t provide the best battery life of all of the options, and you will need to reboot for the changes to apply.


    Standard (Windows default): In this mode, the MUX Switch toggles back to Microsoft’s standard power management, also known as MSHybrid. In this mode, Windows decides when to use the discrete GPU, disabling it during low-power tasks and routing GPU frames through the integrated graphics during gaming and other graphics-heavy tasks. 


    Eco mode: This option completely disables the dedicated graphics chip for maximum battery life with minimal heat and noise. 


    Optimized (Recommended): Customized by ROG, this mode will automatically switch into Eco Mode when on battery power, and Standard mode when plugged in. 

    If you're on a 2022 laptop, we recommend using Optimized in most cases, and switching to Ultimate when you need every single frame.
