NVIDIA Releases GeForce 465.89 Game Ready Drivers: Resizable BAR Finally Here

[Calmmo]

Just extract the asus update file with 7zip find the text file and use it to figure out which bios is the one for you using gpu-z to read your current bios version, and then use the appropriate bios update file to flash your card via cmd (using nvflash)

Wow, never thought this day would actually come!

Wow, never thought this day would actually come!

Just a few minutes before the NVIDIA subreddit was flooded with posts about the VBIOS updates, I was saying to myself, "it's late March, where are those VBIOS updates..."

 

[thesmokingman]

Yea for sure. The mob was starting to grab their pitchforks lol. To be fair, NV was full of shit implying that their rebar capability was already there and then the fine print is end of March. smh...

Anyways, I flashed my card, it was a quick flash too.

 

[ZoneDymo]

soooo any benchmarks showing any improvements anywhere yet?

another "great move" from nvidia
and how about 2000 series?
looks like intel and nvidia both are running beyond amd
man this world its crazy

 

[R-T-B]

They finally fixed the converter issue... thank goodness.

 

[Mussels]

Why are people not more excited for this!

cause i'm not sure what it means, explain!

Yeah you had that problem for like 4 months. It's good they addressed it.

EVGA released their VBIOS for the 3080 and 3090 FTW3 Ultra cards. Looks good from here!

cause i'm not sure what it means, explain!

GPU passthrough!

If you're running a Linux host and a Windows guest VM, you can now have the guest directly access the GPU. This was only possible on Quadros.

This is extremely helpful especially if you're working on both environments. No need to dual-boot anymore.

Evga made it super easy to update. If you update the X1 program to V1.1.8...couple clicks later it was enabled. Now to uninstall the the whole driver package and update with NVCleanstall. I will do some testing tomorrow.

Good to know that my 9900K isnt supported...

That depends entirely on the motherboard. Official nvidia support is only 10th/11th however motherboard updates can extend support.
" Please note, some motherboard manufacturers have unofficially extended Resizable BAR support to prior generation products. Your mileage may vary utilizing these solutions. "

Auorus pro Z390 board has a bios update that enabled it for my 9900k. Today has been a bit of a pain as I also reformatted last night before all these releases.
-reformatted, did drivers and all that jazz
-bed
-wakeup
-ddu
-install new nvidia driver
-install new 3080 firmware
-oh, I need to install new mb bios update
-enable 4g in bios
-enable bar in bios
-windows won't boot.....
-disable csm boot support in bios

finally up and running. Really all that took like 30 minutes but still a bit of a pain.

i can see a lot of people simply not having this work and screwing with reviewers jobs

I know that 90% of systems i get in for repairs had the OS installed in CSM mode and note UEFI for example

Successfully updated my RTX 3080 and 3090 FTW3 Ultra's with Resizable BAR. Not expecting much of an uplift but happy to see this tech get implemented

I would love for this to happen. Still have an RTX 2080Ti FTW3 Ultra that can benefit from it.

This is the sort of stuff I feared before upping my 3070 Gaming X Trio today, thankfully all went well and ReBar works.

When you say "does not boot", do you mean that you can't even get into the BIOS?

Hey where did you get the MSI vbios though? Last time I have checked, nothing comes up on Live Update for my 3060Ti Gaming X trio.

 

[phanbuey]

Ended up shutting it off.

Tested t in BL3 with Gsync and HDR - pretty bad stutters with higher FPS. Shut it off and no more stutter.

You have to use dragon center and do the advanced scan. Live Update doesn't seem to have it (didn't have it for me).

Thanks! Yeah tried that too,even before..nothing yet.Well I guess it might take few days depending on models and range.

 

[Mussels]

Valheim seemed slower with this driver update, unsure if tied into rebar or a coinkydink

 

[mandelore]

It is, my 9900ks is supported. It just depends if your motherboard is supported.

 

[Mussels]

Saw two things on reddit:

1. stuttering and issues if you use hte nvidia frame rate cap
2. stuttering and issues if you have any temp monitoring of the GPU active

will have to see if thats going on or not

Live Update has it, use the arrow keys to scroll to the "BIOS Update" tab. Took me a while to figure out.

 

[W1zzard]

already on it

 

[Deleted member 205776]

For me, it gave me a noticeable boost in PUBG for example, went from 130-140 FPS during gameplay to mid 150s. It's also noticeably smoother.

 

[stimpy88]

Terrible that this is not available for RTX20x0 cards. nGreedia has no excuse, as they are still making and selling some of them.

Oh, and a question for 3000 series owners, how is your ETH hashrates after updating to this VBIOS?

no change but why would it? nvidia would need to enable it in the driver for all the mining programs

Nooo way
And I was doing just that but somehow I didnt get further? Well perhaps MSI might consider improving that 2001 looking UI haha..thanks man,appreciated! Would be scratching my head a whole lot longer without you.

Just updated the bios on my MSI 3060ti X gaming trio after the above mentioned struggle to find it.
Its my 24/7 mining rig. You are right Mussel, hash rate doesnt appear to be improved,but Efficiency most definitely yes yes yes..and thats a good thing,right? So my 3060ti went from 0.45 MH/J to 0.47MH/J - 0.48MH/J
I take that! Cant wait to see what it does to my 3080!
