thx DooGie for the driver update news.
@Brink,
Shawn, maybe you want to add this to the first post, but be sure to state this is only for 30 series cards: NVIDIA Resizable BAR Firmware Update Tool | NVIDIA
There is a whole lot more to know before doing this, and the most important, is your motherboard needs to support it as well as having a 30 series card.NVIDIA Resizable BAR Firmware Update Tool
This article explains how to update the GPU firmware for Resizable BAR compatibility on GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs from NVIDIA and our partners. Contact your GPU vendor if you have further support questions not covered by this article.
Additional Information
How do I enable Resizable BAR?
There are three components to enabling a higher BAR value.
1. Supported GPU including VBIOS
a. GeForce RTX 30 Series desktop GPUs - Support for a specific sku determined by GPU vendor
b. GeForce RTX 30 Series laptops
2. Supported Motherboard SBIOS
a. Users can obtain motherboard support and SBIOS information from their motherboard vendor
b. Within SBIOS, adjust the setting to:
1. Boot in UEFI mode
2. Enable “Above 4GB Decoding”
3. Enable “Resizable BAR” in the SBIOS
4. Disable Compatibility Support Module (CSM) in the SBIOS.
5. Ensure GPT partition type is used (and not MBR)
a. You can convert MBR to GPT using these guides
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...ent/mbr-to-gpt

3. Supported driver (Game Ready Driver or NVIDIA Studio Driver)
a. RTX 3080 NB, 3070 NB, 3060 NB: 461.40 or higher
b. RTX 3060: 461.72 or higher
c. All other supported RTX 30 series GPUs: version 465.89 or higher
I’ve walked through all the steps to enable Resizable BAR and I’m still seeing the setting show up as “No” in the NVIDIA Control Panel, or I am getting black screens when booting. What am I missing?
Here are three areas to confirm:
Ensure the Compatibility Support Module (CSM) is disabled in the motherboard/PC BIOS
Ensure the boot drive is using GPT partition type and UEFI BIOS mode
Additionally, reconfirm the VBIOS updated successfully.
ASUS ROG has at least as far back as Z370 offered BIOS updates for this.
