TechPowerUp GPU-Z v2.38.0 Released
TechPowerUp today released the latest version of TechPowerUp GPU-Z, the popular graphics subsystem information and monitoring utility. With the latest version 2.38.0, we are introducing the ability to detect Resizable BAR support. GPU-Z can now tell whether Resizable BAR is supported, and if so, whether it is enabled. AMD refers to Resizable BAR as AMD Smart Access Memory, but it is a feature developed by the PCI-SIG, which lets your CPU see the entire video memory of your discrete graphics card as a single addressable block, rather than through 256 MB apertures. This feature has been found to improve performance in games that can take advantage of it. Resizable BAR status can now be viewed from the main tab, right next to the multi-GPU status.
The latest TechPowerUp GPU-Z also adds support for new and upcoming GPUs, including AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, RX 6700, RX 6600 XT, RX 6600, and Ryzen "Lucienne" mobile processor iGPUs. Support is also added for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile. Other new features include the ability to monitor negative temperatures on NVIDIA GPUs. We fixed video BIOS extraction on AMD RDNA2 GPUs (Radeon RX 6000 series). Grab GPU-Z from the link below.

- Fixed BIOS saving on AMD RDNA2 cards. BIOSes saved with old GPU-Z versions are only 512 KB and will brick your card when flashed
- PCI-Express Resizable BAR status is now displayed in the main window
- Added support for negative temperature monitoring on NVIDIA
- Added support for AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, RX 6700, RX 6600 XT, RX 6600, Lucienne APU integrated graphics
- Added support for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile

Is there a reason why GPUZ reads VDDCI (mV) - the I/O bus voltage, instead of mvdd of the actual gddr6 on navi1?
For ex. the micron gddr6 on nav1 runs at 1.35V (mvdd) - this is actual gddr6 chip voltage.
GPUZ instead shows VDDCI (mV) - the I/O bus voltage - which runs at 850mv as "Memory Voltage"
- PCI-Express Resizable BAR status is now displayed in the main window
"@W1zzard you spoil us. :rockout:
W1zzy boyo does what AMD can't :love:
edit: just confirmed, it is showing enabled on mine. nice. it always baffled me why AMD didn't have an indicator in their driver software. lulz. and w1zz just does it so easily.
The memory voltage readout - actual gddr6 runs at 1.35v(mvdd). GPUZ readout shows 0.85v, which is the VDDCI (mV) - the I/O bus voltage. Just wondering if this is by design.
Glad to see that the problem with AMD RDNA2 cards wrong size bios saving is fixed.
It will save a few folks from bricking their cards by downloading the wrong size bios from TPU.
I will try it right away and submit then the correct bios to TPU for my card. :)
:clap: :pimp:
First off, thanks for this awesome inclusion. Now, I Have a 3800X and my MB is running on latest BIOS with R-BAR enabled in the BIOS but my graphics card is an RX Vega 64. You mentioned in the article that GPU-Z detects if R-BAR is SUPPORTED. I wanted to ask if this option shows if it is supported by the MB & CPU or if it is supported by the GPU, because AFAIK Vega arch doesn't support R-BAR!
It's like this for all navi1 cards. There is a utility called AMD.Memory.Tweak.XL - which reads it correctly and is able to modify the powertables to even increase/decrease it.
Many people have been able to increase the GDDR6 voltage and achieve higher memory speeds - that is why it would be nice to get a proper reading in GPUZ, since we all use it.
Anyways, thanks for looking into it.
Lol still wondering why my specs are not shown correctly. Its with this with the other app too, that gpuviewer app.
