When can I have RBAR on my B350F with 3080FE and 3700xx

Tomorrow as long as your mobo has a bios that supports resizebar.

Bad news is I don't think B350 and X370 is supported.

I was being conservative. Seems like Eteknix saw 9.5% at 4K and 17% at 1080P.

Noice..

I thought they only list ones they have checked like gsync compatible monitors. It actually is enabled on all games but the results are largely unknown as they can only check as many as they have staff on it.

Fair enough, makes sense. As long as I can enable it on anything, users can go out there and test their **** out. I'm sure there's some old stuff (i.e. all racing games I play) that would never get tested by them. If I give it a go and its no better, switch it off and get on with my life.

Argh, that's not great. Don't get me wrong, it's better than nothing, but oh well. Let's just hope its get rolled out sooner rather than later. March is pretty much done and no news on it being further rolled out.

Surely they going to have to change this policy, is thousands and thousands of games, they never going to be all tested so ultimately the feature will be locked off from a huge % of games.

ah ok must have just refreshed

Nexus18 · 30 Mar 2021 at 14:21

If anyone has a 30xx gpu and ryzen 2xxx cpu, let us know if it works.

I could enable the option in my bios with my vega 56 and it seemed to work ok so hoping the 3080 will work with the 2600 ok too........

Yup, BIOS enabled BAR/SAM on a b450 gaming pro carbon and a 3080 fe.

It will be a while before I flash everything needed, from what I understand updating motherboard bios will wipe any o/c profiles. and all need to be reapplied and saved again manually. I have lots of customised bios settings and manual ram timings.

Copy them to USB.

Many mobos allow you to save your current BIOS OC UV profile to a usb stick. Check yours out, because if thats an option, dead easy: flash bios, load memory stick, job done.
