Yes it comes across that way, quite immature way of saying things in that article. Useful info though if you ignore the text.Having just read the article, is it just me or is w1zzard a major Nvidia fan?
Even though the NVIDIA article - https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/news/geforce-rtx-30-series-resizable-bar-support/ - doesn't mention the Z370 chipset, there is a BIOS update on the Gigabyte website for my motherboard to enable it. Worth checking for anyone not on a 10th or 11th gen Intel processor.
So I've done everything I needed to - no Resizable BAR for me, despite flashing the new motherboard BIOS, having the driver installed, and flashing my GPU with the firmware. Oh well. Guessing I fall into the 'unofficial' support for now. Hopefully Gigabyte and NVIDIA work together to make it work officially.
The man is just fair.
"It took NVIDIA a few months, but they've now achieved parity with AMD's Radeon Smart Access Memory feature. Instead of inventing a snazzy-sounding l33t pro gamer name, they simply refer to it as "Resizable BAR," which is the technologically correct term. While AMD enabled Resizable BAR across the board, for all titles, NVIDIA chose a more fine-grained approach—Resizable BAR is only activated for specific games after NVIDIA has tested them."
That line killed it to be fair. Fair play for calling it like it is.
Have you disabled CSM and using UEFI ? but you need to make sure your windows install is in GPT not MBR and if in MBR you need to convert it to GPT with the windows tool or you will not be able to boot windows without CSM if in MBR.
Also make sure all virus protection is off when running the VBIOS tool update as that is known to stop it working right too. So you may think you flashed it and got a reply of all ok but reality is the windows virus protection or other protection deletes the file in the background or stops it running right.
Only things you need to have enabled in the motherboard bios is Rebar and 4G decoding and UEFI and csm disabled.
In windows you need to have the latest nvidia drivers installed too, when flashing the gpu and when enabling it in the motherboard bios.

out of the 23 games they tested its made a difference in 2.
There's a reason for that.I don't know, its made a difference in 2 out of 23 games and Nvidia are as bad as Apple for renaming existing tech and claiming it their own, the sentence you have in red reads like a petulant child who didn't get what she wanted and is gas lighting those who did.
The sentence suggests they are comparing Nvidia to AMD but didn't include any results from AMD. I go back to my petulant child theory.
Here's an article on that, Nvidia weren't lying when they said your mileage may vary on platforms that are not officially supported. There are some big performance regressions .Even though the NVIDIA article - https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/news/geforce-rtx-30-series-resizable-bar-support/ - doesn't mention the Z370 chipset, there is a BIOS update on the Gigabyte website for my motherboard to enable it.

Not to mention 'Resizeable Bar' is a boring name, no wonder AMD came up with a more exciting one. It's almost as if Nvidia want to hide the fact that AMD forced their hand on a feature that AMD support more comprehensively.I don't know, its made a difference in 2 out of 23 games and Nvidia are as bad as Apple for renaming existing tech and claiming it their own, the sentence you have in red reads like a petulant child who didn't get what she wanted and is gas lighting those who did.

Wow. Those Borderlands and Godfall performance hits. Ouch.Here's an article on that, Nvidia weren't lying when they said your mileage may vary on platforms that are not officially supported. There are some big performance regressions .

tbh, 3070 is not a good card to play godfall, with rbar or without rbarWow. Those Borderlands and Godfall performance hits. Ouch.
I will see what it's like in Cyberpunk and Control. At least you can turn it off per game too. Not super quick, but do-able.
