Intel ARC GPUs NEED This Setting Turned ON

This video is a quick follow up to my recent Intel Arc video taking about the importance of ReBar.

*Follow me on whichever Social media you don't hate*

Honestly I really like how Intel came into the GPU market and actually made something decent instead of failing. Good job Intel!

"I made a mistake. Here is what I did wrong, Here are the updated results." LOVE THIS. As a side note, there are members of the x79/x99 enthusiast community that have been modding BIOS to support Rebar. Supposedly, nearly ANY PCIE 3.0 system can be modded. Neat 'eh? I wasn't a big fan of the idea that many NEW GPUs have reverse compatibility issues, but it's nice to see people working hard to enable ReBar. As it stands, rebar only has official support on x299, Desktop Intel 8th gen or newer, and AMD B450/X470 and newer.

If you want even more confusion get an ASUS motherboard. There you have "Re-Size BAR support" enabled/disabled and then in the top menu (but only there) a "Re-Size BAR" ON/OFF switch. If you only enable the support you still don't have Re-Size BAR enabled ... wow.

Thanks for the follow up, I was a little confused to as why my Arc A750 was performing better than the A770, but I'm glad you followed up with an explanation. This is why I love your channel. Keep up the great content!

I like that Dawid is willing to do these sort of updates based on feedback. Not everyone does that as long as they got their views on the original video.

Enabling resizable bar + increasing the power limite to 228w or the maximum allowed + oc will make a huge diffrence with the 770

Re-Bar especially helps low level render APIs like DX12 and Vulkan. GTA5 runs on DX11, which helps having it one especially on Intel GPUs but not as much. In general, the Arc GPUs seem to be designed with low level APIs in mind, wich also explains their lackluster performance in older APIs.

Hey dawid, also thought you should know there is a program known as dxvk that is able to replace dx 11, 10 and 9 games to run through Vulcan, which the ARC cards are much better at running.

That cooler in the PC looks sooo cool! It's glowing!

THANK GOD
Your previous arc video really scared me out of arc for a while

[alexroseukv]

Props to you @Dawid for realising your mistake, owning up and publishing an update, because it really did seem like you may not have had it enabled because your huge stuttering was something a lot of other reviewers commented on without rebar, and the Intel engineers themselves highlighted really should be enabled.

Alas my system with its 10700k is stuck with a motherboard with no Rebar support, but I have a 3080 anyway, so it's not so catastrophic lol

I like how this video is super short but still has the amazing Dawid quality :D

[jkorotkiewicz]

Maybe you should make it into a series: "the state of the Intel Arc Driver" and check out the performance every couple of weeks/months to see if the "hidden potential" of the Intel GPU is slowly revealed or it will stay rotten forever...

Three monts ago i bought the cheapest RX 6600 that i could find in my country, a Powercolor Fighter model. Resizable Bar made a huge difference for my card. I had around 20fps with massive stutters in demanding games, but with ReBar enabled i got 60 or more frames per second. My motherboard is an Aorus b450i pro wifi and my cpu is a Ryzen 5 3600.

Was waiting for this exact follow up, as always thanks for making cool content for us, I would also love to see a follow up video about VA displays with the samsung Odyssey g7 version.
I hope you doing well Dawid.

[ChaosUnfold]

Glad I caught this old vid. I'm planning on getting an intel ARC card but was afraid of some of the hitches. This makes a huge difference and I'll definitely check out your vids as a guide. Thanks.

[GamerErman]

You're not alone in not finding this setting. I have a Gigabyte Z590 UD AC motherboard and it took me a loooong time to realize that it had resizable bar available. Because of that above 4G Encoding setting hiding it! I have an RTX 3080 so turning it on doesn't do much for performance though.

[aenguspatterson]

I enabled this for my arc A750 on an MSI b550 board. It literally doubled my fps in most games. Thanks!

[dazinkeys]

The analogy of the LEGO vs land mine made me spit my coffee through my nose. Thanks. 😅

You should try DXVK that could improve performance in some games
