GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

Again, no.
The 4G does not enable rBAR. nVidia/MSI has shown a UEFI with Intel CPU where rBAR is available. Without that no rBAR in Windows and in the nVidia driver. See link:

We need a vbios update for nvidia.

For it to work you need the following

CPU support (basically every CPU with PCIe 3.0 support)
Motherboard/BIOS has to provide "rBAR" and "above 4G encoding", starting as UEFI not CSM
Graphicscard (BIOS and Driver [to utilise it])
Windows 10

On Gigabytes AMD motherboards both options are available. The BIOS doesn't care if the GPU is from AMD, Intel or Nvidia.

Ah thanks, but I got X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming. I assume these BIOSes won't work with mine?

Still on F60e for your board,
maybe next week, as this 2 BIOS's is compiled late today.

No, the Gigabyte does not care what GPU is installed.
For me option/function is not there (rBAR).
"above 4G encoding" works only Cypto.
The large memory area is not displayed in the device manager. Gigabyte has not unlocked it yet.
Additionally, the SAM/rBAR is only fully available in AGESA V2 1.1.9.0.

[bad_sign]

What cpu and board do you have?
Me: 5950X with B550 Aorus Pro and F11n (AGESA 1.1.0.0 D) BIOS -> both are enabled and I have the large address string in device manager.
RX480


Get the newest BIOS here https://www.tweaktownforum.com/forum...624#post976624 and flash it. Now you have rBAR

AMD 2700X | GIGABYTE AORUS X570 Master | 16 GB GSkill Trident Z DDR4-3600 CL18 | MSI GTX 1080 ti Gaming |

The most important question:
When comes AGESA V2 1.1.9.0
When will Gigabyte release the functions for PBO, even for the ZEN+?
MSI and Asus have all functions enabled in the PBO, which is missing at Gigabyte. See link, same CPU:

I think SAM brings little performance increase with nVidia?

Did you download and try yesterday test BIOS F32a with Agesa 1.2.0.0 ?
or BIOS with Boost Clock Override +500 (or +600 not sure)?

Your previous post made it sound like F32a was using AGESA 1.1.0.0 D. Are you saying that F32a has 1.2.0.0 in it? Were different F32a versions released?

[tsamolotoff]

Also I got new BIOS for B450 , X470 and TRX40 series.....upon request.

Yes please, if there's a bios for x470 gaming 7, I'd gladly test it out. Currently it seems to be locked to 1867IF.

Indeed, I went ahead and flashed the X570 Ultra F32a version posted on the previous page and that has AGESA 1.1.0.0 according to CPU-Z (presumably rev D, but CPU-Z cannot tell the revision). It appears stasio was right the first time around about the F32a AGESA version (unfortunately, it would have been more exciting if it was indeed 1.2.0.0).

Yeah, it looks like the F31a posted yesterday had 1.2.0.0 in it - I did download it but not tried it tbh, probably won't as it sounds like it's a really early build.

So, F32a has issues with PCIe 4.0 drives because it did not see my SN850 as a bootable drive on my X570 Master. When I rolled back to F31, my SN850 showed up as a bootable drive.

I haven't used F32a because it's the same AGESA as F31 and F31 is performing flawlessly for me.

I assume you mean F32a (not F31a)? The F32a linked on the previous page has AGESA 1.1.0.0, hence the questions about the mention of 1.2.0.0.

Where are you seeing 1.1.0.0 in CPU-Z? This is what I see: https://imgur.com/a/vstpFAj.
