NVIDIA Re-Confirms Resizable BAR Support on RTX 30 Series

this absolutely has to be done by nvidia,users can't be left to do the testing themselves as you lose performance almost as often as you gain some

Spoiler: SAM

from amd's SAM review

this is not the way to do this.
I don't want a feature I have to test myself for every game

 

I dont understand this? try it on a 3080?

 

needs a vbios update from manufacturer

 

So. A VBIOS update from the manufacturer.... What would this mean for the people running "non stock" BIOS's?

I have the kingpin on my FTW3 ULTRA 3090.

 

And here's to hoping they bring support to tRX40 chipsets.

 

Dragons are coming folks... I promise.. they are coming...

 

"A vbios update from whoever provider your current vbios" I guess, to make it generic enough to fit your particular situation.
(For the vast majority that is the same as "a vbios update from the manufacturer", obviously)

 

I'm struggling to see the problem, get the Kingpin bios with the update.

 

They might be 10% faster Dragons tho!

 

AMD warum kein X370 support. Total unverständlich!

 

Interesting. So if I'm reading this right we need bios updates for GPU and MOBO and also a driver that supports a feature that's been lying dormant for over a decade, but they are unable to enable or disable it at a software or hardware level without a system reboot?

Maybe if we buy an additional 100$ USB dongle with some random code on it that always sits in a USB 3.2 drive they can enable/disable it on the fly?

 

Auf Englisch bitte.

 

i think they are able to do that.
i dont mind a system reboot but i don't understand how amd wants the user to do the testing themselves.
lazy !!!

 

Let's be realistic here , most of us when we get this feature we will enable it and leave it on especially if we hit the target frame rate.... I know i would !

 

Have they stated what CPUs it'll support? I assume they'd not artificially limit which Intel CPUs are supported but they might pull an AMD and artificially limit it not to include AMD.

 

I do not think that was ever a consideration , nvidia does not have a x86 cpu in the market by limiting to Intel only they will make their GPUs a little bit slower on that specific ventor , i do not think nvidia loves intel more than amd or the reverse

 

I haven't seen any list of what nVidia are going to support. Last I heard AMD won't support anything but Zen 3. People were quick to white knight for AMD claiming it's a compatibility issue and it's not possible with earlier chips. We quickly found out that's bullshit.

 

I was quick to say that this is bullshit and they should allow it on all the ryzen cpus, i mean it is a pci express 3.0 feature so there is no special sauce on the hardware side .

 

Right. Was mostly asking if there were a particular risk to us on an obviously different BIOS. Being it could brick it maybe. Hardware ID and BIOS not matching up?

Maybe it just allowing it altogether until one slaps a stock VBIOS on?

Not sure about what the the confusion was between the two who commented.....
