00:00Want to squeeze more performance out of your gaming PC for free?
00:04Of course, you do.
00:06Today, I'm going to show you exactly how to enable a feature called Resizable Bar.
00:11It sounds technical, but trust me, it's a simple change that can give you a noticeable boost in frame rates
00:18in many games.
00:19So, what is Resizable Bar?
00:22Think of it like widening a highway between your CPU and your graphics card's memory.
00:27Instead of your processor accessing small chunks of ROM at a time, Resizable Bar lets it access the entire memory
00:35bank at once.
00:36This reduces bottlenecks and allows for faster data transfer, which translates directly to better performance in games that support it.
00:44It's a feature available on most modern NVIDIA RTX 30 series and newer,
00:50as well as AMDR-X 6000 series and newer cards, paired with compatible CPUs and motherboards.
00:59Ready to unlock this extra power?
01:01Let's dive in.
01:03First, we need to restart your computer and enter the BIOS.
01:08You can usually do this by pressing the Delete or F2 key as your PC starts up.
01:13The exact key can vary, so watch for the prompt on your screen.
01:18Once you're in the BIOS, you'll need to find the settings for Resizable Bar.
01:22The location is a bit different for each motherboard brand.
01:26For ACES motherboards, head to the Advanced tab, then PCI Subsystem Settings, and enable Above 4G Decoding first.
01:35Once you do that, the Resize Bar Support option will appear right below it.
01:40Set that to Auto.
01:42If you have an MSI board, go into Settings, then Advanced, then PCI Subsystem Settings.
01:49Just like with ACES, you LL need to enable Above 4G Memory, Cryptocurrency Mining, and then Enable Resize Bar Support.
01:58For gigabyte users, it's usually under the Settings tab.
02:02Look for Above 4G Decoding, and enable it.
02:06Then, the Resizable Bar option should show up, but you'll want to set to Auto.
02:11And for ACES motherboards, navigate to the Advanced tab, then PCI Configuration.
02:17Enable both Above 4G Decoding and CAM, which stands for Clever Access Memory.
02:23That's ACES's name for Resizable Bar.
02:26After you've enabled these settings, save your changes, and exit the BIOS.
02:30Your computer will restart and boot into Windows.
02:34Now, how do we confirm it's working?
02:36It's super easy.
02:38For NVIDIA users, open the NVIDIA Control Panel.
02:41Down in the bottom left, click on System Information.
02:44A new window will pop up, and on the right side, you'll see a list of details.
02:49Scroll down until you find Resizable Bar, and it should say Yes.
02:54For AMD users, open the NVIDIA Control Panel.
02:56Open your Adrenaline software, click the Settings gear, go to the Graphics tab, and you should
03:01see an entry for AMD's Smart Access Memory with its status listed as Enabled.
03:06And that's it.
03:07You've successfully enabled Resizable Bar, and unlocked some extra performance from your
03:12hardware.
