Nvidia Re-Size Bar/SAM support is live for some cards, more in March - 10% performance gains

[Mesai]

Yeah the RX 5000 series supports SAM/RBar as far as I know.

Found some reviews where it seems to sit between the 5700 and 5700XT, so do we have an RBAR on/off comparisons for those cards instead of comparing the 3060 against the 6800+?

 

[KillBoY_UK]

The 3060 was only 4% faster in AC Valhalla with ReBar (although 11% faster on the lows), so a much lower improvement than the 15-20% that AMD gets. AMD are already extremely strong in BFV vs equivalent Nvidia cards, Nvidia have a lot of catching up to do.

If you are talking about little navi they went EOL back in october and lack other features

Personally I`m hoping we have some indicator that its turned on. Whether it be a game detects it and has the on/off option or some other indicator such as the Nvidia Control Panel or there will be a lot of is it/is it not switched on messages.

Probably a On-Screen indicator like for G-Sync or PhysX.

On my X570 Auros Elite I have seen the rbar option although haven't enabled it.

I will be very miffed if it doesn't work with my 3700x.

Lots of videos on YouTube showing people using it with 3000 series CPUs so should be fine.

That's massive increase. I guess infinity cache and narrow bus might not be working too well with Sam on Navi.

So +20% on the 3090? We going to the moon

 

[JohnG7]

^^ @ 1080p yeaaaaaa

 

[Gerard]

Dat Nvidia Fine Wine, stretching it's lead

 

[Raiden85]

Really can't wait to see what the 3090 is like with it on. Will be interesting to see if the faster cards benefit more with it on. Hurry up and release the VBIOS updates

If the memory interface size matters, the 3080 and 3090 will do really well.

What are the chances this tech will be eventually rolled out to work with older cpus etc?
I’m still rocking a 5930k on x99 and from what I’ve read it theoretically / technically should work with that!

 

[JohnG7]

^^ More to do with Mobo and if anyone does a Modded Bios as X99 does support it AFAIK.

Canne av REBAR on me Btreefiddy and 3080 with a 3700x plz

Yes because the 3060 has such a huge bus compared with the Radeon cards.

You need to change motherboard to a 400 or 500 series.

You will need a extra high capacity Leisure Battery in your caravan to power the 3080.

 

[Lightnix]

It's a bit cheeky not adding it to the RTX 2xxx series IMO but lots of people have been saying the 3060 would be more compelling if it were in line with the 2070 super rather than the 2060 super/2070 and resizable bar support will pretty much achieve that by the looks of it seeing as most reviewers don't enable it by default.

edit:

eurogamer on it: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2021-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-review?page=6

performance difference is anywhere from non-existent to 15%, with the best results seen at lower resolutions. As they mention they don't enable it by default but may in the future.

 

[Woodsta888]

Made me LOL proper

 

[Dontrocktheboat]

LoL but in all seriousness.

Your 3070FE will love a bit of RBAR when the bios comes out for it.
