For Resizable BAR to work, you will obviously need compatible hardware along with the the latest driver (456.89+), and graphics card firmware to be updated. Though we have seen a minimal performance improvement with AMD’s SAM at 4K, however, at 1440p you can expect significant improvements.

As per NVIDIA, with Resizable BAR support, the GeForce RTX 30 graphics cards can boost performance up to 12%. However, in general, you can expect around 5%+ performance uplift with RTX 3080 at 1440p resolution.

NVIDIA has declared that there are currently 17 titles that support Resizable BAR and the graphics giant has also assured that more titles will be added with new drivers in the future. Here are the games that will support Resizable BAR:

1. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
2. Battlefield V
