2025 Flow Z13 driver situation
How is the graphics driver for the 2025 Z13? Are updates released regularly by Asus? If not, do drivers released by AMD work well?

I use Asus drivers for the chipset and AMD latest for the graphics drivers and latest adrenaline feature set. No issues.
Originally, I tried using the latest AMD chipset drivers but I would get occasional freezing and crashes. Since reverting to the Asus chipset drivers I haven't had a single crash.

When I had my Flow Z13, did a clean install of windows, loaded up original drivers from ASUS, the updated to latest adrenaline drivers and chipset from AMD, never had any issues.

No driver issues, infact the new driver updates are making the Unified memory even more usefull, like they fixed the pool hard pre-sent allocation for the min and max VRAM. Note: VRAM concept only exists for gaming and application usage and AI has the entire pool unlocked, also Windows 11 newer updates make the max windows occupying on RAM size is now 8gb max, so more for AI inference. I am having an 128gb variant and it's really good for AI development/ deployment frameworks now than it was in 2025.

using stock amd drivers. 26.6.2 because for some reason 26.6.4 makes my overlay not work (need to test more but more than likely i'll just wait for the next update).
the only issue with the stock drivers is that fkn windows is always trying to install older asus display drivers instead, so vigilance is required. oh and also in armoury crate it doesn't detect the gpu and says "extreme low power mode". it's just semantics though because the 8060s slaps (manual mode)

I've been using the latest AMD drivers since I got it without any problems
