A couple of months ago AMD introduced SAM aka Smart Access memory, which really is PCI-Express Resizable BAR. An easy option that possibly can bring extra performance. With NVIDIA now being compatible as well we test and benchmark this feature on all compatible graphics cards, and will try and show you if it is worth the hassle.

I am an editor at a technology-oriented website with around 15M members and I would have rejected this article for a very simple and basic reason : it repeatedly uses an acronym that is not in common usage without defining it. Curiously, several other uncommon acronyms were defined.

The irony here is neither did you.

I don't need to. Maybe you missed it but I didn't write the article.

I think BAR's performance comes from compiling something. I would say....if there is a way to test shader performance, then I think this is where BAR will excel. I think showing a real video comparison for a system that uses a lot of shaders, such as Cyberpunk or Horizon Zero Dawn with Bar on and off.

I think that the charts are great, but having to see the shaders compile at different speeds would be great too.
