ERRATA: *sigh* Where to begin? 1. Sorry for the lack of new footage, I accidentally deleted all of my SAM captures 🤦♂ 2. As I said in the video, I had already done most of the work on the script and benchmarking before realising NimeZ drivers weren’t the only way of enabling SAM on old Radeons. As a result, the video may be a little more focused on NimeZ than it really needed to be, while breezing over the registry hack. 🤦♂ 3. After reading the Guru3D post about SAM - about two hours before the video went live - I now understand that SAM is more useful in CPU-limited scenarios, so my very GPU-intensive and VRAM-intensive benchmarks are probably not exploiting SAM to its fullest. 🤦♂

I made it work with 1st Gen Ryzen Threadripper 1900x and Radeon VII (VEGA GCN cores, 16gb HBM RAM) 1. MSI Kombustor Stress test Minimum FPS raised from 730 to 749, maximum from 740 to 770 FPS. 2. Temps After it was successfully enabled, temperatures on both CPU and GPU went up during 3d stress test. 3. Cyberpunk 2077 I noticed that the game wasnt utilizing GPU to the fullest, because it seemed limited to 178 Watts, and CPU was utilized up to 30-35%. So I decreased resolution, GPU power usage went even lower, while CPU usage went up to 60+%. Very strange indeed, so i restored original configuration (4k res, everything on High, FX Fidelity on Balanced) and re-set GPU Voltage to 1.066v (default). Power utilization then went up to about 230 Watts. But still GPU is underutilized and power limited at the same time.

But CSM is options itself is hidden while fast boot is enabled. Unfortunately I don't own any of the games that benefit a lot, but it's a net benefit and stable without HBCC on Vega, so I'll leave it on.

@MenkoDany11 ай бұрын
As (former, by now, I guess?) game developer, I can tell you, enabling both "SAM" (ReBAR) and HBCC makes no sense as it contradicts architecturally. The magic of "SAM" is actually in AMD's driver optimisation, without it the perf benefit is 1% at best, similar to Nvidia. So just enabling it in the driver gave exactly the result I was expecting. Sadly, without AMD driver team's work optimising each game, old GPUs won't benefit from SAM. I have looked into what it entails way back when it was unveiled, theoretically the first step is to open up a profiler and look at which calls are bottlenecked by the address space, and add "translations" to full-size ReBAR to only those calls. In essence, this only* happens if the game is loading contiguous chunks of data (usually textures) larger than 512MB which as you might have already guessed, is rare and highly dependent on the game design/engine/code... To your errata point 3, yes this is true but it's more of a symptom than a cause. If you switch the calls to >512MB chunks it means that the CPU will spend more time on contiguous memory guaranteeing less cache misses, the CPU isn't limited here as much as it's having more stuff to do and is fed it in a way that is more appropriate for the CPU's design. ie. it's not resource limited, but time-limited. If you optimise it well, the CPU has to wait (sleep) less. You don't have to understand the specifics, just know that this is why it's not as easy as saying "SAM will help in CPU-limited games" *(okay only is a harsh word, but in 99% of cases this is true)

Thanks for that video mate, oh and a bit of a small but distinct chance suggestion; HBCC is EXTREMELY good at teasing out system Ram instability, and triply so with SAM enabled. Ever wondered by default XMP trfc and other sub timings are so looooooose? Things like HBCC+ReBAR are why. I had to set TRC a good 8 points and TRFC 40 points higher than 16 instance memtest 24/7 stable enabling both, to restore game stability. That being said, it's still a wash feature, better to just leave off unless you are struggling with Vram.

This is an okay video but I have some gripes with how the testing was conducted and I'll share them one by one: First, SAM works best under CPU limited scenarios. If you're using it in a scenario where the CPU isn't really a limiting factor for the GPU, then you're not going to see much improvement when using SAM whatsoever. Second, you don't need to use something that is as bloated as Nimez drivers that has crap that doesn't get removed even when you DDU them. These are for really, really advanced users who knows exactly what they are doing. There was a point and time when Nimez drivers had features exposed to the users with descriptions that were really vague because the NimeZ team themselves didn't know what these options really meant. The easier choice for this is to use an official driver release, and simply use the registry modification. Third, the Polaris architecture significantly benefits from Resizable Bar. But for it to work, you need to have a 8GB card. It simply won't work on a 4GB card for some reason. There is a workaround for 4GB cards that is NOT recommended. It's better if you use Linux instead. Linux doesn't hide REBAR for older cards like Polaris or VEGA and it works out of the box. Fourth, not all game benefit from REBAR. While some more CPU demanding games do benefit from them, there will be games that are going to see negative scaling due to REBAR overcommitting. Fifth and final, consider checking out Linux performance VS Windows performance using a Linux distro like the NobaraOS. You'll be shocked to see that games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Starfield run faster than Windows on Linux!

I wouldn't say so. What you get with BAR resizing is more than 256MB of cohesive memory. You need this type of memory for synchronization primitives which barely need space at all or for some other types of reads back from the GPU but you don't need a larger amount of it to re-upload data to the GPU. It might make it just a little quicker but not by much. Honestly if you're trying to replace a gig of data per frame on a 4GB card like for one WTF are you doing and for other well that's plain not gonna work you don't have the hardware throughput for that, and a little mapping wasn't going to kill you, the mere handful BAR resets it incurs. I really think the feature is way more relevant with GPUs with lots of VRAM but not relevant yet with current engine architectures.

I was able to get REBAR and SAM enabled with my i7-8700k+Vega 64 using a beta BIOS offered by Asrock, but performance was practically identical with all my benchmarks (+/- 1fps or so). Although I had no issues with SAM enabled, I did have issues with having CSM disabled whenever I made any major SW or HW changes. I think this was more attributed to the beta bios and nothing to do with the vega 64, but I saw enough that it just wasn't worth the effort, so I leave CSM enabled now and forgo SAM.

Resizeable BAR feature is fundamentally application visible, as any amount of video memory the application requests may be available in cohesive type, as opposed to just a sliding 256MB window being this type. But cohesive memory may impose more unnecessary checks within the application, which can tank performance. For this reason i suspect it's actually masked out in the application profile for most games.

You've fundamentally misunderstood what ReBAR/SAM is. It does not relate to the GPU memory, but to the manner in which memory data is transferred from the CPU ram across the PCI-e bus to the GPU VRAM.
@cybercat153111 ай бұрын
The big bottleneck in that path is the manner in which data is transferred over the PCI-e bus. In normal operation the GPY VRAM is accessible via a 256MB shifting window. So 256MB of the CPU's address space is *mapped* on top of 256MB of the GPU VRAM. Now if your GPU has more than 256MB ram is where the sliding window aspect comes in. That window or BAR (Base Address Register) can be set to a new offset address. In increments of 256MB of the GPU VRAM size. So to address 8GB of VRAM you need to use at minimum 64 different offsets. In reality it can be more since the BAR need not be 256MB aligned. When performing a lot of VRAM transfers from the CPU the offset of where you want to operate on VRAM has to be updated all the time. Now ReBAR does away with all of this nonsense by just mapping the entire GPU VRAM address space, say all 8GB into a big single address range of the host CPU. This avoids a lot of updating the address of the small BAR 'window'.

I got an asus tuf rx 5600xt 6gb evo and just found out about SAM. with updated bios, i was able to enabled sam within bios and verified that it is enabled in adrenaline. However, I noticed that benchmarking results using Superposition is lower compared to disabled sam. Checked gpu z and saw that under resizable bar tab, bar0 is only 1000mb and not 6000mb which is the full gpu memory of 5600xt. I cant find anything in the web that can make it 6gb. Hope anyone can enlighten me. Thanks😊

What about an R9 390(X)?

Should I update my bios to enable ReBar? i3 8100 and rx 6700 xt (dont judge me I didnt have money for cpu and mobo at the time)

Give it a try cuz you loose nothing from testing.

I have an Intel Xeon E5-2660v3 paired with RX 5600 XT. I got my REBAR enabled. 🤫

are you using one of the chinese x79 boards? was thinking of doing an older xeon build like this.

I could try to do this with my vega 56 and 5600x bought for a total of £470, but if I brick them I'd have to pay £700 for the same performance. Nope.

What I find most impressive is they bother to develop all these technologies then just throw them in the bin just a generation later. What a waste of time a resources developing new things each time just to bin them off and not improve on them.

on 4gb sam is no-go**, i tried on 580 4gb via registry hack but after that just driver was crashing and adrenalin app didnt open ** Works only on Linux fine

With 1000 and 2000 works as well until you dont have shitty Gigabyte motherboards which disables that feature, running sam fine on old 2700 with 6650xt on b450 tomahawk max
