A Lot of people commenting seems to give off the impression that it is going to be that easy. lmao. Like a line of code or just some simple implementation. There is a lot of work that needs to be done and then some. They even had to put their own specific sauce on it so NVIDIA making these claims like its that easy will be in for a hard time. AMD specifically spoke on that feature in a q&a video with Hothardware. Spoke about supply and all other stuff.

I will also test it soon on ASUS CROSSHAIR HERO VIII WIFI x570 with Ryzen 5800x.
My Radeon 6800XT is arriving today. :D

The problem for AMD is at the moment to make enough 6800 series cards available for people who want to buy them and use this feature. :shadedshu:


I only wish AMD Radeon drivers had a little area that would turn green letting you know SAM is enabled fully. I mean I have both options enabled in BIOS, so I do have it enabled, but it would be nice to have confirmation of it.

and congrats on that setup!

As a owner of a X470 board, with SAM and Ryzen 5000 compatibility incoming, i can say AMD did right by me. Hopefully i will be able to a afford a Navi GPU 2 sometime next year.
