Resizable BAR Available Now For All GeForce RTX 30 Series Desktop GPUs

Resizable BAR utilizes an advanced feature of PCI Express to increase performance by up to 12% in supported games. With the launch of our new Game Ready Driver and GeForce RTX 30 Series VBIOS firmware, Resizable BAR support has today been added to the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, 3070, 3080 and 3090 desktop graphics cards.

Windows Virtual Machine Beta Support For GeForce

If you’re primarily a Linux user, you can now enable GeForce GPU passthrough on a Windows Virtual Machine (VM). Play Windows-only games in your VM, or if you’re a developer, more easily test both Windows and Linux code from a single machine, accelerating development.

The beta feature is enabled on all GeForce/TITAN GPUs supported by this driver (Kepler and later for desktop; Maxwell and later for laptop) on Windows 10.
