NVIDIA Releases GeForce 465.89 Game Ready Drivers: Resizable BAR Finally Here
NVIDIA today released the latest version of GeForce Software. Version 465.89 WHQL comes with optimization for "DiRT 5" update with raytracing support; "Outriders," and "Evil Genius 2: World Domination." More importantly, the drivers formally introduce Resizable BAR support for GeForce RTX 30-series "Ampere" desktop and mobile discrete GPUs. Priliminary (beta) support is also added for virtualization on GeForce GPUs. Other major changes include support for the new OpenCL 3.0 compute API, NVIDIA SLI support for "Shenmue III" and "The Medium" (on "Turing" GPUs only). Support for 8K TVs is improved by extending the DP-to-HDMI 2.1 PCON clock frequency range.
Among the handful issues fixed with 465.89 WHQL are pixellated smoke with "Rainbow 6 Siege" in Vulkan API mode; a crash with X4 on RTX 30-series; a BSOD when a Samsung Odyssey G9 display is paired with HDMI TV; a BSOD when playing games and watching YouTube videos simultaneously on an RTX 2060; "Sunset Overdrive" showing green display corruption with in-game DOF enabled; Realtek DP to HDMI 2.1 converters being limited to 600 MHz pixel clock, abnormal idle power draw on "Turing" and "Ampere" GPUs with higher refresh-rate G-SYNC monitors; and screenshots captured using GeForce Experience appearing washed out with HDR enabled.
We tested resizable BAR performance in extensively in our article: NVIDIA PCI-Express Resizable BAR Performance Test - 22 Games, 3 Resolutions, RTX 3090, 3080, 3070, 3060 Ti/

Game Ready for Outriders
This new Game Ready Driver provides support for the launch of Outriders, which features NVIDIA
DLSS technology. Additionally, this release also provides optimal day-1 support for:
OpenCL 3.0: Added support for OpenCL 3.02, the latest major version of OpenCL maintaining backward compatibility with OpenCL 1.2. NVIDIA OpenCL 3.0 continues to support existing OpenCL 1.2 functionality as well as Khronos and vendor extensions that are already supported with NVIDIA OpenCL 1.2 drivers.
Fixed Issues in this Release
Enabling PCIe Resizable BAR requires a VBIOS update: nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5165

Anyways, I flashed my card, it was a quick flash too.
and how about 2000 series?
looks like intel and nvidia both are running beyond amd
man this world its crazy
EVGA released their VBIOS for the 3080 and 3090 FTW3 Ultra cards. Looks good from here!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.
" 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 know that 90% of systems i get in for repairs had the OS installed in CSM mode and note UEFI for example
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).
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
Oh, and a question for 3000 series owners, how is your ETH hashrates after updating to this VBIOS?
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!
Or are you saying nVidia are not capable of doing something like this? They did say the ETH cripple was coming to other RTX cards, and that it needs hooks implemented in the vbios for the driver to cripple it.
But what a great way to ensure all the "gamers" go out and install a vbios update... A nice juicy free performance carrot, potentially followed by the ETH stick!
Hopefully I'm wrong. I just don't trust nVidia.
