I have just purchased and installed a Razor Core Chroma eGPU enclosure with an AMD RX6600XT. I am on MacOS 12.2.1. How do I update drivers for the eGPU AMD graphics card? It is automatic with system updates or do I need to do something else?

If in doubt refer to the developers website; Support/Help/FAQ/known issues/compatibility/updated driver:
Contact a third party vendor

The Developer, Razor core, sends me to the AMD website for driver downloads but the MacOS operating system isn't listed as an option. When I initially researched which enclosure and graphics card to purchase, I reached an AMD tech for an online chat. He recommended my setup specifically asking the question about which operating system I have, Big Sur or Monterey. I told him I was going to update to Monterey from Big Sur which is when he recommended the AMD RX6600XT card. He said MacOS supports that card in Monterey but does not support that card in Big Sur OS. A different AMD card in the 5000 series is supported in Big Sur.
So I do have Monterey and the recommend card. I'm starting to think the driver for the card is embedded in the Monterey OS. My system sees the card. Is it possible that any driver updates happens each time I update Monterey with the latest version?

I would assume if a driver update is required it would be automatic.
I do not see that card listed here:
