EVGA includes Resizable BAR support on X299, Z590, and Z490 chipsets

EVGA has released BIOS updates for motherboards based on Intel X299, Z590 and Z490 chipsets. This update adds support for a PCIe feature known as Resizable BAR, which allows the processor to have full access to the graphics card’s memory, which in theory can improve performance.

Latest natively exclusive AMD SAM technology available now for Intel processors

As you know, AMD has released its Resizable BAR implementation in the form of AMD Smart Access Memory technology, originally available only for the latest AMD components: Radeon RX 6000 graphics cards, Ryzen 5000 processors and motherboards based on 500 series chipsets. In response, NVIDIA announced plans to add Resizable BAR support to its RTX 30 series graphics cards, starting with the RTX 3060. A BIOS update for system EVGAs based on Intel chipsets takes advantage of the latest generation graphics cards.

The source supplemented this information with his own experience. When he tested AMD Smart Access Memory technology with the Radeon RX 6800 XT, the performance improvement averaged 2%.
